(Le Mars) — Last week’s flooding spilled over a dike and poured into the Le Mars Little League parks destroying all the equipment. Heath Husk serves as the president of the Le Mars Little League Association and explains what had happened.
Husk further explains the equipment that was lost due to the flooding.
The Little League baseball official says last week’s flooding was the first time since 1984 that water had breached the protective dike. Husk says several fund raising campaigns have now begun within the community to help the Le Mars Little League Association.
Husk says in addition to the mentioned entities and businesses that have donated to the program, Lambert’s Lumber has also contributed. Husk says officials are looking at if they can salvage any of the equipment, but he adds that Little League officials have been told it may be best to discard everything.
Husk believes the Little League season will begin and proceed as normal by next April.
People interested in donating money, or wanting to assist the Le Mars Little League with its recovery efforts should contact Heath Husk, or send the contribution to the Le Mars Little League, P.O. Box 1014, Le Mars.
