Liberal Bee Jays offering a Baseball Clinic

The Liberal Bee Jays are coming to town!!

Thursday, July 7 the Liberal Bee Jays are coming to Hugoton to put on a Baseball Clinic. It’s been a couple years since they have been here.

The clinic is free to boys and girls ages seven and up. The Bee Jays will be at Hartley Field at 211 S Madison from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon Thursday, July 7.

If more information is needed, contact David Mason at 620-541-1861 or Jace Moore at 417-876-7576.

Be sure to get the kiddos out and support these players that are putting in their time to help our kids. Let’s get our hometown baseball team going this year. Don’t miss it!!

The Bee Jay’s schedule is going to be included in The Hermes What’s Happening. They will play at Brent Gould Field on the campus of Seward County Community College. Admission is free thanks to buyout sponsors. Many games will air on 1270, 92.3 FM and the KSCB and The Legend App.
