Anyone playing at Hoover HS on Thurday, July 4.


1. There is a 5 mile running race around town that will be closing some streets around 7:30 a.m. Namely, Main St (Cleveland Ave) will be closed.


Streets such as Applegrove and Schneider will be good East/West streets to work to Market in order to work back to Hoover HS Baseball field.


2. Parade Starts at 10 a.m. - same deal with some streets closed.


3. Fireworks at Night (10 p.m.)


Because of the fireworks and parade launch point, expect the large gravel lot on the west side of baseball to be closed all day. Parents can park in the asphalt lot on the east side of the baseball field.


Jeff Hite will be our site manager all day on July 4. He can be reached at 330.312.1102.
