Community pitches in for baseball tournament

The Soldotna High school Baseball team hosted the Southcentral conference region baseball tournament this past weekend. I’d like to thank all those that contributed to the tournament, but especially our Sponsors Kevin and Carol Asp of Alaska Sleep Clinics. Not only did they generously sponsor the tournament, but they also spent many volunteer hours working at the tournament. I’d also like to thank the City of Soldotna and Soldotna Little league for your assistance with our road closures and gate entry.

It is a pleasure to work with such generous and caring people. Thank you!
