Sports Walk of Fame
Meanwhile, the committee this month closes nominations for Young's Sports Walk of Fame.
The Young Sports Advisory Committee is calling for nominations of players, coaches, umpires or administrators.
It is expected that the nominees will have contributed to the development of their chosen sport or sports within the region.
Nominations close November 30. Forms can be picked up at the Young Witness.
