FLEISCHMANNS — Following their appearances in the New England Old Time Base Ball Festival last weekend in Suffield, CT, the Mountain Athletic Club and Bovina Dairymen welcome spectators on Sunday, June 29th to the historic M.A.C. Grounds at Fleischmanns Park for a match of nineteenth century style baseball with a pre-game train ride on the recently reopened Delaware & Ulster Railroad (DURR) and a chicken barbeque to benefit the Fleischmanns Volunteer Fire Department. The festivities get underway with a noon time departure from the DURR station in Arkville featuring train and local baseball history talks by Fleischmanns historian John Duda and M.A.C. captain and team archivist, Collin Miller. The ride will run upstream along the Bushkill on the newly repaired track to a point near Fleischmanns and return to the Arkville depot around 1pm. Tickets may be purchased in advance online at durr.org. The baseball game gets underway at 2pm where admission is free. Chicken dinners will be offered until sold out.
