Softball

Every Tuesday, 7 PM

Every Tuesday a bunch of us from around Orton come out for a friendly game of softball.

We don't take it all that seriously - but it is seriously fun! It's not clear whether anyone tracks the score - or even cares.

If you feel like swinging a bat, heckling your neighbors, or just enjoying a cold beverage in the outfield - come out and join us. No sign-up required.

BYO glove and refreshments - we provide everything else.

Contact Mike for more details info@orton-community.com
