Riverside Presbyterian Home residents Mary Mangaroo and Mary Anderson
It was “root, root, root for the home team” March 22 at Riverside Presbyterian Home when a team from Jacksonville Fire & Rescue Engine Company and EMTs from Station 5 joined RPH residents in the First Annual Walkers vs. Hoses cornhole baseball competition.
As a crowd of residents, complete with face paint and pompoms, cheered on the Walkers, the Hoses team, led by David “Home Run” Howell, edged past its host, 36-35. Everyone took a time out after the fifth inning so that spectators and players alike could sing a robust rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.”
Nellie Beyeler of the Walkers team scrutinizes her toss during a competition with firemen from Jacksonville Fire/Rescue Engine Company 5. Watching behind are Lynda Parent, Mary Ogletree, Dawn Ivory, Beth Szabo, Ann Strohm, Mary Mangaroo, Mary Anderson, Patsy Parker (standing on second base), Melba Campbell, Doris Smith, Katie Bruski and Riverside Presbyterian Home Service Coordinator Kathy Rhoden. Players in the First Annual Walkers vs. Hoses Competition were (back): Nellie Beyeler, Kathy Riposta, Mary Mangaroo, Kenneth Arnold, David “Home Run” Howell, Dan Stift, Brandon Ray and Joshua Boone. Front: Lynda Parent, Patsy Parker, Mary Anderson, Bob Trotter, Melba Campbell, Doris Smith and Katie Bruski
