Initial Diamond level donors to “Reviving the Fields” project ... A couple of local donations at the Diamond level of giving ($5,000 or more) have been received in the early fundraising efforts for the “Reviving the Fields” project aimed at improving the baseball/softball fields at Waukon City Park, the Waukon Complex adjacent to the Fairgrounds, and near the school district bus barn. Donations continue to be accepted and can be made by contacting any member of the parent committee listed in the accompanying article.
Pictured above at the presentation of the $5,000 donation made by Waukon State Bank toward the project are: Left to right - Front row: Janessa Weymiller, Brylee Willis, Kreigan Phipps, Gage Dotzler and Sam Weymiller representing some of the many youth who will benefit from the field improvements project; Back row: Little League Baseball/Softball Parent Committee representatives Dan Willis, Josh Phipps, Rachel Berns, Nicole Willis (also representing Waukon State Bank) and Jamie Phipps, along with Gina Curtin, Justin Sweeney and Dan Denk of Waukon State Bank.

Bruening Rock Products will be donating half the cost of the materials being used in the field improvements project, an amount that propels them into the Diamond level of project fundraising sponsorship.
