Local 1 Oregon/Washington/Idaho/Montana Built Dugouts for Community

Alan and Kelly Corning built and donated a baseball field — the Wyatt’s Ballfield — to the town of Blanchard, ID in memory of their beloved son Wyatt who lost his life at a very young age. When they needed help to build dugouts for the field, Kuhn reached out to Dustin Bradford, Field Representative of Local 1 OR/WA/ID/MT. They knew the local from their friend Del Kuhn, a retiree of the local.

Bradford said, “I had no problem finding a few young eager volunteers who were excited and proud to be a part of this project.” BAC volunteers rolled up their sleeves and built two dugouts with 8-inch blocks.

“By building the dugouts, we are also building memories for the family, as well as bringing residents of our community together,” Bradford said.
