It may be officially winter,

but Fairburn has its mind on baseball.

The Fairburn Little League

will be starting up again next year at Duncan Park. Registration is Jan.

17 at City Hall.

Getting this program off the

ground will take a team of volunteers whose love and knowledge of the

game are sure to make it a success. Coaches, certified umpires, team moms

and dads, scoreboard officials and game announcers are all asked to join

in the spring and summer program.

Baseball, softball and T-ball

are being planned to compete with other regional programs. Girls' softball

will be included as well, making the park activity a great all-around

family experience. The season is set to be up to bat April 1. Broadcasts

of the events are planned to run on local cable channels.

Everyone in the Fairburn area

is invited to be a part of the excitement. To find out more about volunteering

or signing up players contact Melody Barnes, program coordinator, at 770-964-2244.
