Winter programs come into play at Clarksville community centers

November 7, 2008 |

Director Eduardo Martorony, his staff, and volunteers at the Kleeman Community Center Director hosted the Kleeman Haunted Mansion on October 25th. An estimated 155 youths toured the facility that was filled with loads of creepy crawlers, scary characters and an elaborate cemetery. It was a huge success and visitors seemed to enjoy being scared to death enough to re-enter the house for a second or third tour.

In other news, the Eagles of War won the Sunday Night Men’s Softball Tournament at Heritage Park. Lisenbee Lawn Service took second. The Tuesday Night Co-Ed League first place winner went to the Long Shots while the Misfits took second for the season.
