B. The Blair American Legion sponsors many civic
projects, one of the most noteworthy is the Legion
Baseball Programs. The actual Baseball program has
been funded totally with private funds. The games are
played on Veterans Field. Over the years
improvements have been made on the field. These
improvements have been funded by the City of Blair,
State of Nebraska and primarily with Private funds
and labor. It is the goal of the American Legion to
provide the youth with a quality program and quality
facility.
C. PROJECT OVERVIEW:
A Group of local citizens has organized to renovate
one of Blairs' oldest and most significant recreational
facility, Veterans Memorial Field.
