July 4, 2010: Parents Weekend Picnic

Anytime baseball is combined with a meal you can count on the Rebel Faithful to turn out. Players, coaches, families, and hosts gathered for the annual Parents Weekend Picnic. Excellent food and fellowship was enjoyed by all on a beautiful summer day at Rebel Park.
