I attended the opening ceremonies on Sunday the 5th and enjoyed the introductions of the teams, visiting dignitaries, and could feel the “anticipation” and “excitement” in the air about getting the games started! The opening ceremonies were attended by the Governor of Delaware, Ruth Ann Minner who gave a pleasant speech to all! If you are vacationing nearby or live locally, you may enjoy watching some of these competitive games. CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE DISTRICT3.ORG WEB SITE for game schedules and driving directions.

The teams were introduced one at a time and then positioned themselves around the infield during the opening ceremony speeches, awards and singing of the National Anthem. One could see the excitement in their eyes and manners as the 1st game was scheduled to begin at 5:30 PM. The championship game will be played August 11, 2007 at 2 PM. ESPN will be covering the championship game for it’s television network.
