Fundraising for Replacement Backstops

The Marshalltown Softball Association (MSA) is raising money to replace the backstops on the three softball diamonds at the South 6th Street Complex. The backstops were damaged during a wind storm in 2011 and attempts to repair them have been unsuccessful. MSA has partnered with JBS to host two fundraising events: a frozen pork sale and a free will donation lunch.

On Thursday, May 24th from 5-8pm, a JBS refrigerated truck will be parked at the South 6th Street Complex. “JBS is bringing a variety of cuts of pork and will be selling heavily discounted meat by the box,” said Eric Wilson, MSA board member. “This is open to anyone, please come by and bring cash.” 8-pound boxes of Smoked Mesquite Boneless Ribs will sell for $12 each and 11-pound boxes of Dry Rubbed Boneless Back Ribs will sell for $20 each. Retail price for either of these products is $40. All profits will be donated toward the backstop project.

The second event will take place during the annual Clincher Classic 16″ Tournament, on Saturday, June 2nd from 11am-2pm at the Complex. JBS will supply their 30′ long grill, and will serve pulled pork, bratwurst and chips as a free will donation lunch.

“I’m mainly interested in seeing the grill,” Wilson said. “But the Clincher Tournament is the largest 16″ tournament around. We will have some of the best teams from Iowa and Chicago here to compete, so it will be a great time to visit the the diamonds.” The Clincher Classic 16″ Tournament runs from June 1st-3rd at the South 6th Street Complex.
