Susanville Little League teams will kick off their 2024 season this Saturday, April 13th, with a big Opening Day celebration, complete with a parade along River Street to Pat Murphy Field that begins at 8:00a.m.
Organizers are inviting everyone out to celebrate the little league players by lining the parade route, which begins at South Fairfield and heads west on River Street to the fields.
Opening ceremonies at Pat Murphy Field will begin at 8:45 and will include an introduction of the teams, a raffle, singing of the national anthem, the Little League Pledge and former Lassen County Sheriff Dean Growdon will throw out the first pitch.
There will also be a Little League fundraiser going on at Joe’s Coffee Shop where $1 of every item purchased between 7:00 and 10:00a.m. will be given to Susanville Little League.
The Pat Murphy Field parking lot will be closed to the general public so that parade vehicles can drive down into the park with the athletes. Handicap parking will be available at the field.
