“It was such a fun day at Goss Stadium and a great way to open our 30th season, ” said Knights Baseball Club CEO Dan Segel. “The activity was non-stop, the exhibits engaging and it was all topped off by a generous donation of seedlings by Weyerhaeuser. We can’t thank them and all our teacher friends enough for making it another spectacular SEA Day.”
