Your friendly, neighborhood vandals have been wrecking them, and pretty soon some are going to fall right through the ice, and then the lake will be full of rotten wood. ATTENTION Just a reminder, girls, that the Softball registration starts March 12, and goes on until the twenty-sixth. So Moms and Dads, give us a hand with this, and remind your daughters.
