the tournament. A deadline of Monday,
July 4, has been set. The tournament is
expected to bring several hundred people to
Perkins. And with that, there are increased
opportunities for local businesses to take
advantage.
"With your sponsorship, this would be
a great way to bring more business to our
local establishments," said CBA president
Winfrey Kinzie. "Sponsoring businesses
will be advertised at the ball field through-
out the tournament. Many of those who
will be coming to Perkins for the tourna-
ment will be seeking the locations of such
places like restaurants, grocery stores, and
gas stations."
Corporate sponsorships are being
sought to help defray some of the costs
in hosting the tournament. Those costs
include paying for trophies and for the use
of certified umpires. Those costs have been
i estimated at around $2,000. Donations are
tax-deductable and any amount would be
appreciated.
"Again I want to emphasize your dona-
tion will be spent in a responsible and
useful manner," Kinzie added.
Gate admissions and a concession stand
will be other ways to generate revenue.
After the expenses are paid, extra rev-
enue generated will be used for continued
improvements at the park. More specifi-
cally, new scoreboards are being planned
with the extra funds.
A field of eight teams will be part of the
tournament bracket. The announcement of
who will be part of the field will be made in
the near future. The teams will have quali-
fied for the regional tournament by virtue
of winning their various leagues.
This is the first time Perkins has had an
opportunity to host such a tournament. But
with all the recent improvements made at
Dickson Park, it was chosen by the OK
Kids Board of Directors.
Sponsorship checks can be made pay-
able to the Cimarron Baseball Associa-
tion. They can be sent to Kinzie at 9102
S. Western, Perkins OK, 74059. For more
