Annual Snowshoe Softball Tournament a success
Editor:
The seventh Annual Snowshoe Softball Tournament was a great success again this year, raising over $11,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Springville in very frigid temperatures. The day started at 8 a.m. with eight teams getting used to walking (and running) in snowshoes and ended around 4 p.m. with our champions, for the second year, Straightline Mason Contracting!
