DSCN5145 (1280x960)

On Wednesday night at the Colony Rec Center over two hundred Villages celebrated Division Four’s 2013 seasons.  The evening featured great food provided by the Oakwood Smokehouse and Grill, rockin’ sounds by the DJ entertainers the TOO OLD BOYZ, and the delightful MCing of Ricky Val, more commonly known as Rick Valdes (and other things…).

The revelers honored the league’s umpires, even Phil, and awards were presented to the league champs and leaders for the three 2013 seasons.
