Opening Day for the Knoxville Little League is coming on Saturday, and league organizers are planning on a full day of activities to get the year off to a good start.

There will be plenty going on at Marion County Park from 9:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Aside from practice baseball games, the teams will get the chance to play kickball or dodgeball against each other. There will also be a dunk tank, other games, a home run derby and concessions.

Rachel Garner is President of the Knoxville Little League; she tells KNIA/KRLS News there will be a special event at midday.

“From 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. we will have kind of an intermission time; but at that time is when we’re going to introduce all the teams individually, and those teams will get to thank their sponsors. So we’re inviting our sponsors out there, to show them we appreciate them. And we also will be having a field dedication,” Garner says.

The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio will be on the scene throughout the day, playing music and helping to entertain the crowd.
