Peru – Jake Swyers of Adirondack Farms was at the controls of a small loader this morning at Laphams Mills Park as Field #3 infield was being transformed from a grass to a clay surface.

Peru Youth Commission Vice-Chair Jennifer Madore explained, “In May 2015, Adirondack Farms volunteered the men and equipment to transform Field #4 into a softball field and now they’re doing the same thing to field #3.” Madore said clay is the preferred softball surface because the infield will be flat and drainage will be much improved. The pitchers mound will not be elevated.

Madore added, “We are fortunate to have a wonderful community and wonderful community organizations. We’re very grateful how they support our community’s youth. Currently Peru has one of the nicest softball fields in Clinton County and now we will be fortunate enough to have two.”

Youth Director John Flynn is also grateful for Adirondack Farms support. He said, “Not having to pay for the machines and personnel will save the town a lot of money and the field will require less maintenance.”
