East Oregonian
Baseball, apple pie and Adams Day
By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
With spring in the air,
the tiny town of Adams is
getting ready to have a ball.
Celebrating the start of
the Triangle Little League
season, Adams Day also
features a whole host of
activities throughout town.
The all-day festivities
kick off Saturday with the
Ladies Club serving up a
hearty breakfast of biscuits
and gravy for $5 at the
Friendship Center. Also,
you won’t want to miss
their delicious cinnamon
rolls or a slice of pie, which
will be available from 7:30
a.m. to 2 p.m.
To help support the
Adams Public Library, the
annual book sale runs from 8
a.m. to noon.
The parade gets rolling
at 9 a.m. on South Main
Street and heads to Loiland
Field on North Main Street.
People are encouraged to
bring an entry and register
for the parade at 8 a.m. at the
beginning of the route.
Opening ceremonies for
Little League start after the
parade and baseball games
will take place throughout
the day. The public is invited
to come out and support the
community’s youths as they
swing for the fences.
The public can shop for
a variety of goods from
8 a.m. to 3 p.m. — with
everything from jewelry
and home decor to clothing
and specialty foods — as
