Callaway Crew hoping for 'home run' fundraiser

Home run deals will be made during the Callaway Crew 10U's fundraiser Saturday morning.

The youth baseball team - composed of 12  9 to 10 year old boys from around the county - is holding a 12- family garage sale 7 a.m.-noon Saturday at 54 Country.

Team mom Amy Bell said all of the money is going towards the team.

"(We) are raising money for team expenses like tournament fees, uniforms and equipment," she said. "We will be selling anything the families can find, so I imagine there will be lots of children's clothes, baby items and maternity clothes.

Bell said the sale will also include a working deep freezer, live stock trailer, bassinet and bedding.

"We are taking the time to bring the stuff out there, and it's not going back home," she said. "I imagine there will be lots of negotiation on prices, and that deals can be made."

The Callaway Crew 10U team was started last year, Bell said. The team play games in Columbia, Branson and St. Louis.
