LL Softball World Series: Opening Day

Gaggles of girl ballplayers and families, friends and fans descended on Alpenrose Dairy this afternoon to begin the weeklong celebration of Little League Softball. Opening Ceremonies were highlighted by the singing of national anthems by the teams from Canada, the Philippines, and Curacao, and our national anthem performed by the great granddaughter of Alpenrose founder, Carl Cadonau. Following the Ceremonies, the teams were invited to "Dairyville" for some Baskin Robbins ice cream (produced by Alpenrose) while tournament volunteers set up the Skills Challenge, sponsored by DeMarini/Wilson.
