This weekend Bismarck is hosting an over-abundance of softball players for the 35th Annual Sam McQuade Sr. Charity Softball Tournament. It’s likely that sunscreen sales are down this year but umbrellas have to be up. As the father of two baseballers and an avid camper I can certainly sympathize with the players who had rain-outs due to this ‘lovely’ North Dakota June we’ve been having (and those who are pitching tent in this humid and turbulent weather). I doubt the flash-flood producing thunderstorms have dampened the spirits of any McQuade veterans. This event has essentially made Bismarck the ‘Sturgis of Softball’ for all the players and fans. To those die-hards I say ‘good luck’ on the rest of the tournament… and surviving the weekend weather.
What say you?
