Showcase opens on Friday night at 6 and will go through October 26.

⚾🧢 Do you recall when the Valley Mills Baseball Complex was 5-6’ under water? Thankfully, they are bouncing back, thanks to a generous $10,000 donation and two new scoreboards from the Texas Rangers Foundation. The community has rallied with donations to help rebuild, and now two fields are fully restored, with a third nearing completion—just in time for the upcoming season!
