Last year Mayor Larry Lavagnino and his team from Santa Maria won the coveted 'Golden Bat' after defeating Mayor Dick DeWees' Lompoc team in a fun-filled game of softball.

This year, on Sunday, May 18th Mayor Lavagnino will defend his team's title against Mayor DeWees' team. The game starts at 1:00 PM at Hagerman Sports Complex across from the Santa Maria Airport.

Funds for the Recovery Art Program are raised by selling tickets which include a tri-tip sandwich, chips, and a soft drink. All that... lunch and a show....for only $10.

For tickets call Good Samaritan Services at (805) 346-8185 or Jennie Sayers at (805) 878-4000.

We will also need volunteers to help set up, help the barbeque team, and to clean up afterwards.
