Many boats from all over the country took part in this event sponsored
by the NPO Regional Exchange Center. The E-boat is a 10-man rowboat

at the end to help clean up the shoreline making it good day for participant

works to build baseball grounds using only natural grass. On 5 April
they leveled the ground and planted seed. The earth requires daily
watering and takes about 3 weeks before the grass begins to emerge.
The ground should open sometime in August. |
