*** Softball season begins
Softball season is just around the corner, marking the return of the most family-friendly softball league west of the Pecos. Games are co-ed, often with pre-teens and teenagers playing. The league is relaxed – no umpires, and balls and strikes are not called. The point is to get out and enjoy the beautiful Colorado summer. This year, we’re playing at Crestmoor Park, which has foul lines and an infield that can be discerned from the outfield. Games start in June. Sign up with Jack Tanner: (303)894-4495 or jtanner@fwlaw.com.
