A great turnout of kids and coaches for Revelstoke Minor Ball

Revelstoke Minor Ball is riding high this year with 69 kids and plenty of volunteer coaches for nine teams. It’s the best turnout the organization has seen in quite a while and they were all quite excited as they gathered at Doug May Field in Centennial Park for the start of the 2015 ball season.
Here are a photos from the event that I hope will put a smile on your face:
