Two Hills Plays Ball!

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser

Two Hills Gelata Park was once again full of activity from August 10-11, as the annual Slow Pitch Tournament swung into town. Having replaced regular rodeo and fair activities with the Slo-Pitch tournament as a response to low volunteer numbers and funds, the Two Hills Agricultural Society continues to step up to the plate and provide an actionpacked weekend for the community.

The festivities began on Saturday, August 10 with a perogy supper and dance for all to attend, then greeted the day bright and early with a pancake breakfast, parade, and kid zone on Sunday while the tournament played out at the Slopitch diamonds at Gelata Park.

Lead by the Two Hills and District Agricultural Society, organizations such as the Two Hills Lions Club, the two Hills Agri-Day and Trade Show, the Town of Two Hills, and more, each took their own portion of the two day event so that the responsibilities and profits from the weekend would be shared throughout the community. After a close weekend of round-robin games, the winners were as follows: “A” event winners were Wolfpack, with 2nd place winners the Sinners. In the B event, SS took first place with Wasted Talent following in second. In the C event, BSNS took first with Batting Beautys in second.
