June 17 Double Header
Greetings All!!!!
This is a reminder email for the Dirigo vs. The Essex Base Ball Club game hosted by the The Freeport Historical Society on Saturday June 17th from 1:00 to 4:30 PM.
The Essex club is traveling from MA. They are really great guys and are fun to play against. We stand to have a ton of fun and learn a lot from them. If you are planning on attending please let me know. If you do not have a complete uniform please do not let that stop you from attending. If you show up you will play. I will bring extra period 1860's shirts for you to borrow.
Check the Dirigo web site at www.dirigobaseball.org/ for more information and directions.
If you do not want to play, You should bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the game! Please COME and support living history here in Maine.
See you there,
Craig
