An official ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony of the Rose and Dennis Heindl Memorial Field — including appearances by Pittsburgh Pirate principal owner Bob Nutting and the Pittsburgh Pirate Parrot — will be held Sunday, June 3, at the field located on Parkway Drive in DuBois, according to City Manager John “Herm” Suplizio.
Despite there still being a small amount of construction work to be done at the new sports complex, the community enjoyed watching part of the DuBois City Classic games at the new sports complex in early May and, just last week, the Small College World Series tournament staged by the United States Collegiate Athletic Association.
“But now it’s time that we actually have an official ribbon cutting and grand opening,” said Suplizio.
The free public event will be held from 1-3 p.m., with the ceremonies starting at 1:30 p.m.
“We’re excited to have the whole community come out and support us on the ribbon cutting,” Suplizio said. “We would like to acknowledge everyone that helped us put this together by giving away free hotdogs, drinks, and chips.”
