I appreciate the words. We are looking to make it an annual event again so hopefully we'll see ya in future derbies. The reason we started this is so that these kids just have a chance to play ball. I don't really know the facts on why the Lions Club stopped. I just thought it would be fun for everyone to do something up here again. We are not a major organization, it is actually all being done by mostly my wife, me, some players parents, and my 14U and 12U girls softball teams. We have had some help from a few local businesses and advertising help from the Evanston Chamber of Commerce, Uinta County Herald, and the local radio station. Since I'm on the rant I need to express that the Wyoming Game and Fish has been great as well as Uinta County personnel, and the Director of the Evanston Parks. A big thanks to Murdoch's, Redi Services, Wal-Mart, Best Western, and Howard Johnson. One other thing that I can't help but mention is that one guy in particular that has helped has a son on the Green Bay Packers so I'll be rooting for them. He's an old BYU player so I'm sure most of you can guess who it is. For the record I am not a BYU fan, wish they would have stayed in the Mountain West.
