The Hays Baseball Association and Hays Larks Baseball are hosting the fifth annual First Responders Night at Larks Park at 7 p.m. Friday. Everyone is invited to attend the game to help pay tribute to law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, 911 dispatchers and all first responders for their commitment and contributions to our community.

The Hays Larks will be playing the Bethany Bulls, and admission to the game is free. The game is being sponsored by Invenergy and Platinum Group.

“We are honored to recognize the hard work of these outstanding members of our community,” said Ken Windholz, president of the Hays Baseball Association. “These men and women have dedicated their lives to providing safety and security for us and we are pleased to pay tribute to them and their families.”

All first responders are encouraged to attend the Larks baseball game with their families.

“This event should be a fun time for all, so let’s help the Larks pack the park and recognize our local first responders, while cheering on the Larks to a victory,” Windholz added.
