Beach Sweeps, Earth Day Celebration, Cape May Jazz Fest

Play Ball! Saturday is Opening Day at the South Jersey Field of Dreams.

The South Jersey Field of Dreams is a place where physically and mentally disabled children and adults can play and participate in that Great American Pastime, baseball.

Lite Rock has been a big supporter of the Field of Dreams ever since its first season in 2003 and I've been lucky enough to be at most of the Field's Opening Days. It is a beautiful experience.

Join me for the opening ceremonies and an action-packed first day of baseball at 10:30am Saturday at the South Jersey Field of Dreams, Dr. Jonathan Pitney Recreation Park in Absecon.
