Oyen Chamber of Commerce donation to Oyen Minor Ball

Submitted

Oyen Minor Ball (OMB) is a well established Association in the community of Oyen.  It brings in over 160 registrants to this season from the communities of Oyen, Sibbald, Acadia Valley, New Brigden, Cereal, Youngstown, Consort, Special Areas 2, 3 & 4 and the MD of Acadia. OMB is currently in the process of upgrading and improving the U15 (Bantam) ball diamond. Our upgrades include 2 new metal framed, tin enclosed dugouts, grooming the infield and removing overgrown sod and patching the outfield. It has been many years since Oyen has been the home to a U15 (Bantam) AA Provincial Ball Team. Our team has requested to host Provincial Ball Weekends this year on this diamond. With that brings many guests to our community benefitting our recreation facilities and businesses within our community.  Our hope is to continue to house a U15 team in Oyen in the many years to come.  

Our Association is currently accepting sponsorship to aid in the high cost of this development.  With sponsorship, our partners will receive recognition via large, permanent signage on the backs of the dugouts as well as Social Media recognition of the supporters.

The Chamber has made a donation to Oyen Minor Ball in the amount of $1000. Bud Herbert (President of Oyen & District Chamber of Commerce) and Erika Tessier (President of Oyen Minor Ball)
