Softball remains a crowd favorite at Labor Day

Softball is the longest-running sport at the Labor Day Festival. Teams from all over have been coming to Tvshka Homma to compete in the tournament for decades.

Larry Wade has organized the annual tournament since 1986 and recently handed the reins to Hoss Ward.

Ward been around the sport since he was two weeks old, when his mom took him to a game.
Ward used to help Wade upkeep the fields just because he loved the sport.

Both men said that each softball tournament is similar to a family reunion, and this is the only time for some teams and players to see each other.

According to Ward, the softball games are a popular Labor Day event for players and fans. He encourages everyone to come to watch the 28 men’s teams and 20 women’s teams compete this year.
