Fall Baseball & Softball Leagues
Time to register for the six-week Fall Ball Leagues, Aug. 21-Oct. 3 . All games are played at Fabens Park. Team and Individual registrations are accepted. Teams that register pay the team rate, and supply all their own equipment/shirts/hats. Individuals who register pay the individual rate, and are asking Huron Parks & Recreation to find placement for them on a team. Note that Parks n Rec will call teams to inquire if they are in need of players first; if placement cannot be found and if there are enough individuals to form a “house” team, parents of the individuals who registered will be contacted to find a coach.

Movies by the River: Wednesday, Aug. 11 starting at dusk
In “Coraline,” a young girl walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life – only much better. But when her adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents (including Other Mother) try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home – and save her family.
