The Sandusky Youth Athletic Association held their annual Opening Day festivities, beginning with the parade to Doerr Field from Maple Valley School. The procession traveled down Speaker Street and finished at the ball fields, filled with spectators of all ages. Special guests appearances were made by Ronald McDonald and Big Boy, both sponsors of teams as well as city officials and others. After gathering on the field for the First Pitch, teams let go of red and black balloons to signal the start of the new season.
