FIELD OF DREAMS Youth baseball is returning to Port Orford after a lengthy absence. An enthusiastic group of baseball softball fans has formed the unofficial Field of Dreams committee are leading the effort to restore the ballfield at Buffington Park. We believe that there is a need for more outdoor youth activities in our community in order to provide for the growth development of our future generations the vitality of our community. Work began the afternoon of October 4th as Mike Allison lead the charge with his tractor to begin skinning the infield. Others who provided shovel rake manpower were Wes Herdon, Tim King, Wayne Markel, Harry Riead, Ross Smith, Bill Klinkefus. The next step is to till the infield to a depth of 6 inches. We are looking for a volunteer with a small tractor to do the tilling. If none is available we will rent a walk-behind tiller. The next step will be to shape the infield. We have access to dirt also the equipment to do the shaping. We ask that anyone who has knowledge experience who would like to join our efforts to contact Ross Smith at 541-3661614 or rosssmith582@gmail.com. Parents who are interested in signing their little leaguers up for play are also asked to contact Ross to get on our mailing list. Our plan is to launch organized teams in the Spring of '18 beginning with T-ball adding more age groups as we gather interest support. We have been in contact with organizers in Brookings Bon who are also enthusiastic to see youth sports exping in Port Orford. Dragonfly Farm Pumpkin Patch 2017
