Dugouts are being built!

Here is a photo taken on April 3. As of right now the snow cover is much less than in this picture, but that could change tonight with 7 to 8 inches of snow predicted to come our way. Yikes!

A newly-renovated fastpitch softball diamond is taking shape at the B-B-E elementary school campus. Fenceline, scoreboard and the outfield were installed last fall, and now dugouts are being built.

On top of hosting junior high or varsity-level fastpitch softball, this diamond will also host Belgrade/Brooten youth baseball games this summer.

**In other news...I just read in the Swift County Monitor-News that Benson public schools will seriously consider a four-day week model. They had a public meeting on April 2 with about 80 members of the public in attendance and gave an overview of over $650,000 in budget cuts for the 2013-14 year. I can't speak largely enough to how difficult of a situation their school district is in right now.
