2024-05-29 08:00 - 2024-06-05 17:00 | Hillbilly Field, Mariners, Winfield, WV, 25213, United States
FHRCC has rented a double drum 10,000-pound vibratory roller Wednesday, May 29 through Wednesday, June 5 to roll the field. Volunteers are needed to operate the roller and get as much use out of the roller as possible while we have it. If you can help out, contact Mike Eden. Getting some of the irregularities out of the field will make mowing a little easier on us and our mowers.
