Our Counties New" Field of Dreams "Opens! WELCOME FOREST CITY OWLS!

"
Lights at the new McNair Field were turned on for the first time recently, and they lit up all of
downtown. The whole town is lit up about the Forest City Owls, the Coastal Plain League summer
collegiate baseball team that starts the first season at its new home here May 29.

The first pitch won't come too soon for some of the more than 700 season-ticket holders. Before the field
was finished, dozens of people wandered to the stadium on some evenings and warmed their seats in
anticipation. People just can't wait for the games to start,downtown development director Danielle
Withrow says. "

own dragon boat team, or join one and come paddle one of our small, 30-foot-long, canoe-like dragon boats.
These small boats are just coming on the world market from China, and “Lure of the Dragons” will be the first

Small boat teams are composed of 10 paddlers, someone to drum or scream (which ever they do best) out a
cadence (teams that paddle in sync, win), and a couple alternate teammates. That’s a total of 11 team
members and one to two alternates (optional).
