Grand Opening of Exhibit "Chatter from Left Field"

There will be a grand opening celebration of the Merrill Historical Society's new exhibit "Chatter from Left Field" featuring the Merrill Lady Cardinals (1943-1945) and the Merrill Rangers (1948-1962) baseball teams on Saturday, April 12th. They look forward to sharing the stories of baseball history that brought the community together as they cheered on our local teams. From the inception of the Lady Cardinals during WWII to the regrouping of hte Merrill Merchants into the successful semi-pro Merrill Rangers team of the 1950s. There will be some interactive displays, with fun games and prizes for the opening - including a dice baseball playoff between Tom Burg and Bill Heideman - both rabid baseball fans. You too can take a turn at trying to beat one of these dice baseball greats. Games will be for sale as well.
