Youth group to foot bill for upgrading park diamonds

Organizers of youth baseball and softball in Fredonia have decided to dip into their bank account to pay for improvements at Fireman’s Park and hope that fundraising to come will help restore those funds.

“Basically, we took money from the kids’ registration. The baseball club approved spending the money out of registration money,” said Billy Mills, a member of the youth organization.

The Ozaukee Warriors Softball/Baseball Association will spend about $12,000 to put in a new backstop and chain link fence on the first and third-base sides of the park diamond.
