The Decatur Girls Softball Association will have its "opening ceremony" Saturday, March 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to kick off the season. There will be local vendors, raffles, great food and lots of fun games for all ages with some specialized skill training sessions, too. Prizes will be awarded to girls from each age group. Individual and team pictures will also be taken. There are a few vendor spaces left, and there is no fee to set up a table or booth. For more information or to set up a booth, call Terri at (817) 360-2433. This is a non-profit organization, and this is its main fundraising event for the girls and the season.
