Turf’s Up

A three-year fund-raising effort aimed at rebuilding three Westport athletic fields with artificial turf kicks off Friday, June 10 at Mitchells of Westport. The Staples Gridiron Club’s “Field of Dreams Gala” at 6:30 p.m. will provide seed money for a community project to install artificial turf for football, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey and rugby teams. The campaign slogan is “If you contribute it will be built.”  Westport is one of only four school districts in the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference still with grass fields. Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased by calling Gala Chair Chris Romann at (203) 222-1422 or e-mail at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
