July 9, 2020 - Jason Mitchell has been working hard to maintain some sort of Baseball Tournament season for the Center Youth Baseball and our City with this unprecedented Spring and Summer.
There will not be any District Tournaments in the State. Any team wanting to play Post Season in the State Tournament will be allowed to play. Below is a list of the Tournaments being played in Center, and the dates. There is a possibility of the tournaments starting a day earlier (on Friday rather than Saturday) with schools starting back so soon.
July 6, 2020 - As much as we had hoped July would be a safe time to have our Annual Grill Fest event, in light of the current situation and the Governor’s Executive Order, we feel it is best to cancel the event this year.
It is a top priority of the Chamber of Commerce as it is our event sponsors and members to be prudent and make sure our community stays safe and healthy.
The Chamber of Commerce is also postponing the annual First Responders lunch. We plan to reschedule the event in August or September.
