Our 1st Annual Airshow Tournament

We hosted our 1st Annual Airshow Tournament on our home fields from Friday, 10/4/24 to Sunday, 10/6/24.  Despite the short notice, we had enough talented teams and amazing volunteers to pull off a successful event! Over three days of tournament play, we had teams from 8U to 14U battle it out under the roar of fighter jets and planes performing at the Airshow.  Due to the heavy fog and  cloudy skies, the airshow action wasn't as jam-packed as in previous years, but many were able to view several of the impressive planes flying overhead. The upside to the inclement weather was that air temperatures stayed down, perfect for playing softball! 

We are excited to host next year's Airshow Tournament, which will undoubtedly be bigger and better! Details will be released during the summer of 2025 so be sure to stay tuned!
