There were over 1,000 people total who attended the event making it a huge success for attendees and businesses alike.

Edmonson County Youth Basketball
There will be a coaches meeting on Friday, 6 November at the Middle School Library for coaches in all divisions of play. Each selected coach for the upcoming season is being notified by the Basketball board and must attend this coaches meeting to receive the league rules and fill out background check forms. Once the coaches are verified players will be drafted to teams and will receive a call from their coach to start practicing. The board estimates teams will be formed and start practice by the 16th of November.

That covers it for now, thanks for supporting your local Parks and Recreation Department. Together we can do some great things! Make sure you visit our website at www.ecparksandrec.com
