The Washington Athletic Boosters received a $12,000 grant for a new scoreboard at the softball field. The check was presented at the recent Washington County Riverboat Foundation fall grant distribution ceremony. Erin Smith, with the boosters, said the current scoreboard is about 21 years old and “it’s time for a new one.” She adds they’re excited. Smith wants to express her thanks to the Riverboat Foundation board, especially because they granted their entire request for the project.
