In addition, the Richfield Youth Sports Organization will, once again, have a food booth.
SPECIAL NEEDS: Please indicate on the contract any specific needs you might have. We will make every attempt to honor your
request. The natural beauty of the trees and other obstacles do, however, present challenges.
