"Celebrating the story of Hometown U.S.A."

*Sunday, October 18 at 1:00pm: "Verona Home Talent Baseball Roundtable."  At the Verona Senior Center, 108 Paoli St., Verona, WI.

Baseball in Verona is a tradition that stretches back through the generations.  There was a time not too long ago when gathering for the Sunday afternoon community baseball game and cheering on your friends and family was a highlight of the week in small-town Verona.  For many folks - especially those who follow our championship-winning Verona Cavaliers - it still is!

This roundtable discussion brings together several generations of folks who played for Verona in the “Home Talent” league, into which Verona entered in 1936 and in which the Cavaliers still play today.  They will share their favorite memories of the big games, notable fans, favorite post-game hangouts, and talk about the impact baseball has had on their families and our community.

Our panel includes former Verona players Ray Rung, Chuck Stampfl, Dale Burgenske, Ken Simmons, Barth Zurbuchen, and Dave Zurbuchen.
