Month: July 2025

Today is Baseball ⚾️ Day in Salt Lake City as the Bees host the River Cats 🐈!!

Years ago, I completed the visit every Major League Baseball ⚾️ stadium 🏟 loop and thought that it would be fun to see how many of the AAA parks I could take in. There are 30 and they are spread across the country in second level cities.

  I am now just a handful shy and later today that number gets reduced by one as I take in a game upstate in Salt Lake City.

  The difference for me is that when I am at a park like the one tonight, its less about the game and more about the atmosphere and marketing aspect of things. What is taking place that night translate to a college game or a High School game?

I don’t know it for a fact but I believe that Howard Mayo and Casey Burcham are currently working on their versions of the MLB parks and if that’s the case, I would welcome hearing about it.

  My favorite thing about the game of Baseball ⚾️ is just how different every park is and what it means to the community it serves.

Salt Lake City !

Next up after SLC will be Albuquerque, New Mexico, home of the Isotopes. Between now and then I will research what an Isotope is….

Final three weeks now for our High Jump area project as July 31st is fast approaching !

Brenden Fariss in action 🎬

Thursday July 31st is our wrap up date for our latest project and I must say that it has been a pleasure working with Kevin DeHaven, Tammy Quesenberry, Shawn Montgomery and Hagen Giles in this effort.

For those of you that are late to the discussion, we have teamed up with the folks listed above ➕ The Carroll News and the Carroll County High School Athletic Association to generate the funds needed to replace the dilapidated High Jump area on The Hill.

We will be covering the gap between what has been raised and the amount needed. We are excited about being able to assist our Track and Field community in this manner !

If anyone else would like to be a part of this there is still time. Writing ✍ a check for $100.00 to Carroll County High School will earn you a Free round of golf ⛳ with a cart at Olde Mill Golf Resort in Laurel Fork.

Writing a check for $150.00 gets you the Golf ⛳ plus a copy of the Carroll County Basketball 🏀 Book 📖.

The Gold level if $250.00 gets you the Golf, the Book and a place in the full page ad that will appear in The Carroll News during August.

Brenden Fariss qualified for State this season in the High Jump and has two more years to work on his craft.

Once again, thank you to everyone 🙏 involved with this up to now and going forward until July 31st!
