Volunteers from the Webb City Elks Lodge spent their day building a new concession stand at Sunny Jim Park in Joplin Saturday.

The volunteers began laying the blocks for the bottom half of the building.

Opening day is scheduled for Friday April 27 at 6 PM, and Joplin South Little League president Chad Curry says there will be a special guest to throw out the first pitch.

Curry says the kids have been waiting for almost year to re-take their home field and with the help of hundreds of volunteers, like the Webb City Elks, they are almost ready to so.

Curry says stone masons are still needed at Sunny Jim Park.

They will be back working again Sunday morning at 8 AM.
