Franklin County is getting ready to host this year’s Florida Dixie Youth Girls’ softball state tournament.
The 4 day tournament will be held at Kendrick Park in Carrabelle beginning July the 8th.
An estimated 600 kids will take part in the event and they will be bringing friends, family and coaches with them so Franklin County will be packed.
On Tuesday the board agreed to spend a little extra money to provide a banquet the night before the tournament begins at the Carrabelle Christian Center.
The county and the TDC will split the costs for the banquet – the price is estimated around 7000 dollars.
Commissioners said the banquets are traditionally held before big tournaments and the county does not want to disappoint because they want the tournament to come back in future years.
This isn’t the first major tournament to be held at Kendrick Park.
Last year the park hosted the Dixie Youth softball all-star tournament which brought in nearly 40 teams representing 12 Florida counties.
