Setting home plate, with help from the 1st Baptist Owasso Youth Group.

Last week, the youth group from 1st Baptist Owasso spent one day of their spring break in helping us finish up the LawnAmerica Field at the Hutcherson YMCA in north Tulsa. We started last spring with an empty lot, filled with old trees, weeds, bushes, and junk. Through alot of hard work, along with about $35,000 from LawnAmerica and some of our customers and friends, we’re finally to the point of playing baseball on the new field.

The Hutcherson YMCA is a fairly new facility, serving families and kids in north Tulsa. Now that they have a nice, new youth baseball field to play on, the youth baseball program should really take off. Many thanks goes out especially to our friends at Oklahoma Landscape & Irrigation for donating and installing the irrigation system, which saved us about $10,000. Thanks to Tulsa Sod & Mulch and Chandler Materials, who donated gravel and warning track material for some nice, final touches.  (more…)
