Chamber makes baseball video available

GENTRY -- Anyone wishing to obtain a copy of the latest historical baseball video which was shown at the annual Gentry Chamber Banquet in February may now purchase one at Pioneer Pizza or from the Chamber office.

The cost is $10 each ($15 if shipped). For more information or to order a copy of the video, call Bev Saunders, executive director of Gentry Chamber of Commerce, at 736-2358. Checks can be sent to P.O. Box 642, Gentry, AR 72734.

The video is a retrospective look back into the days when Gentry's most popular entertainment was baseball.

In the 1940s and 1950s, whether it was the organized league, the town team, the high school baseball team or just a group of local kids, there was always a game to be found in Gentry on a warm summer day.

Speakers in the video include Burl Lyons, Ralph Sullivan, Jim Twiggs, Sr., Allen Heald, Glenn Smith, Danny Feemster, Roy Jech, Bill Mitchell and Rick Parker.

The video was filmed and edited by Shane McNair and produced by Flying Lens Visuals.
