Fairfield Celebrates "Ground Has Been Broken"
for Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields

Cincinnati Red's hall of famer Sean Casey joined a host of construction, business, government and trade professionals at Receptions in Fairfield to celebrate ground breaking at The Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields, Hatton Park, in Fairfield.  The fields will feature a rubberized playing surface to accommodate participation for both kids and adults with challenges that prohibit play on a regular baseball diamond.

Keynote presentations were made by Kim Nuxhall and Sean Casey with Nuxhall commenting that, "Over $2-million have been donated to these two fields, dedicated to giving people a chance to play baseball that would otherwise have been restricted to watch the game from the stands, or from their wheelchairs.  These ball diamonds were one of my dad's greatest dreams. And they're coming true. I can't thank you all enough."

The guest list for the luncheon was made up of in-kind and cash contributors that included representatives from major donors including: The Hatton Foundation, DHA Architects, IBEW 648, Dallis Homes, City of Fairfield, Magna Engineers, Mercy Hospital, Brown Paving, Bayer Becker Engineers, the Pfau Foundation, Tri-State Testing, Le Fleur Transportation, Duke Energy, The Fairfield Community Foundation, The Hamilton Community Foundation and others.
