The Robeline ball park is coming along wonderfully. The Robeline Little League had replaced the dugouts last year. This year a grant was awarded in the amount of $60,000 to the improvement of parks for the youth. Sen. Seabaugh’s office was a big help in getting the grant.
The concession stand has been gutted and the siding replaced. The inside was just insulated and the electrical aspect is being wrapped up. The public safety commission also gave a grant that has replaced the lighting in the park. The pole plant in Noble also donated the poles that will serve as anchors for the new backstop netting that will be installed in the future. And the lower part of the field wall has been installed. It’s wonderful to see a central part of our community getting some TLC.
A BBQ Benefit for Nichole Christophe is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 6, at the Robeline Ballpark. The event will raise funds to support Nichole following her breast cancer diagnosis, with proceeds going toward medical expenses, travel for chemotherapy treatments, and lost wages.
