 We have many things in store for the Little League this year. The upcoming popular Chili Feed is in February.There were some very good Chili cookers out there last year and we hope to have as many participants ( if not more) this year. A good fundraiser and good meal for a cold "chili" night!! Look for the place and time in the newspaper and on the fliers that we post about town. We will also be doing registrations at this event.

In March he ames start and everyone will busy with getting the kids with their coaches, practices start and who knows we may throw in a little fundariser then too.

The Little League tryouts are on Saturday, February 12 from 1:00 - 4:00 PM. Please have your child there with a glove and be reday to see where they will be placedfor gthwe upcoming season.

Todays pancake breakfast sponsored by "The Friends of The Park" and helped out by the Illinois Valley Little League went GREAT!!!

 We served 233 meals and everyone seemed to be happy with what the got, no one needed to come back for seconds. Thanks to everyone who was there on time to volunteer their time for their 2nd annual Pancake Breakfast event. It seemed everyone worked together and it all ran pretty smoothe.

 Of course you all know that these events that are being held by them are to build a second Little League field at Jubilee Park.

Thank you to the Senior Line Dancers and The String Bean Band for their wonderful performances too. We have some good talent in the valley and enjoy gthem coming out in their busy times to help out with our fundraisers. THANKS AGAIN GUYS!

 Keep your eyes posted for more fun events upcoming in Cave Junction.

    The Illinois Valley Little League has it's 3rd annual Chili Feed coming up on February 25th. Starting at 5 Pm until 7:00 or? There will also be a silent auction and we will be featuring THE STRING BEAN BAND.

 The cost is 5.00 per person and you get corn bread and a drink to go with your chili. There will be a variety of chilis to choose from as in Millies Chili ( with or without meat), my own secret recipe chile and some mile to very hot chili. Whatever your flavour.

 We are looking for entries too! Bring your favorite chili in a crock pot and pay 5.00 to enter it in the chili cook off contest. There are some nice prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd winner. 

 We also will be serving dessert, compliments of who else?? Millie! I am sure there will be others that will be makin' up somethin' sweet for the crowd too.

 The silent auction will begin at 5:30 until everything is gone. We had some very nice things sitting out there last year and I am sure that this year will hold many surpises also.

 Grab your husnad or wife, kids grandma, grandpa and whoever you want to bring and come out for the food, auction and maybe some dancing if you got it in ya!!!

We are always looking for volunteers to help during the baseball season. Coaches, set-up people, snack bar helpers, field maintenance, score keepers and much more. If you have just an hour of your time that is an hour more of help then we had before you offered, come out this year and support your child in baseball and help a little if you can, it is always so appreciated to have the extra hand.
