FARWELL – A new fence has been installed at the Bucktail softball field in Farwell by Bill Probst’s construction class. The fence was a senior project of now Bucktail graduate Natasha Peck.

Her goal was to replace the temporary orange fencing around the Bucktail softball field with a permanent chain link fence and bring the field up to comparable standards with other high school fields in the vicinity. The orange fence, typically used on construction sites, has been used for the past several years.

Natasha contacted local businesses for donations to raise funds for the project. In addition, she hosted several ham potpie dinners and bake sales.

It is not uncommon for Bucktail’s seniors to take on such large projects. Projects in just the past few years have brought about several upgrades for the softball program, including the construction of dug-outs and a scoreboard. Senior projects also lent to the scoreboard for the baseball field, as well as the rock sign welcoming all those who enter the school property via Bucktail Avenue. Photos provided
