MAYNARD -- The rivalry on the ball field between Maynard and Barton continues this weekend with the first -- and what is planned to be annual -- fans vs. fans softball game and gathering -- a good time for all.
The inaugural event will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5, at Maynard Community Park.
Teams of fans are set, and the public is welcome to join in the fun as spectators. Attendees are encouraged to bring a covered dish to share, and the event is BYOB. Food and beverages will not be for sale at this event -- there promises to be plenty of food to be shared.
There will be raffles and event "Win or Lose, We Booze" T-shirts will be available. Proceeds from the raffles will help reimburse the cost of the game trophy and softballs. Any remaining funds will be carried over to help prepare for next year's event. Organizers said they hoped to make next year's game a contest between co-ed teams.
Members of the Maynard Sportsman's Club collaborated with Barton fans to organize the very first Maynard Fans vs. Barton Fans Softball Game -- "Win or Lose!"
