To the editor,
The recent Washington State 2A Girls’ Softball Tournament held at our very own Carlon Park (May 23-24) was a huge success and an absolute “feather in Selah’s cap.” All weekend hundreds of fans and athletes from all over the state got to see what a wonderful city Selah is and had an opportunity to help our local economy by eating and shopping right here in town.
Our community owes a special thanks to Selah School District Athletic Director Mike Lewis and to all the community volunteers who donated hundreds of hours to make certain this event was a huge success.
I also want to thank the City of Selah for providing an absolutely first-rate facility and for the hours upon hours they spent preparing a softball facility that is second to none in this state. Time and time again I heard fans from participating schools comment on both the quality of the tournament and on how beautifully prepared the fields and facilities were.
In every respect this was a “class event” thanks to Athletic Director Mike Lewis, to our legends of volunteers, and to the cooperation and generosity of the folks from the City of Selah. This tournament shows how the city and the school district can and does work together for the benefit of our great community.
Congratulations to everyone for a job well done.
