Two Ross County American Legion posts are busy trying to make their baseball programs and facilities, even better.

Chillicothe Post 757 has completed a two-year project, where they have raised over $150,000 to place lights on their Douglas Avenue "Hoffman Field". The field, which was built in 1970, will see its first game night game, this Saturday against Portsmouth Post 23. The first game starts at 5pm, followed by a ceremony then their nightcap at 7:30pm.  

Across town, American Legion Post 62 Baseball will be having a Fish Fry on June 11 from 11am to 7pm at 808 Eastern Avenue at the MJM Express Trucking Company.  The team is working to raise funds for a field improvement project that they will be planning to complete this fall. The project will include adding draining tile to the field located at the Ross County Ballpark on Egypt Pike, performing other work to help with drainage issues on the field, and fixing the fence along both fields at the park. This will be the first fundraiser held so that they can achieve their goal of raising approximately $5,000 to complete the projects.
