To honor the accomplishments of these dozens of accomplished young athletes – and to provide a proper send-off for the 11- and 12-year-olds as they take aim at the Little League World Series by heading to Bristol, Conn. next week to compete in the New England regionals – Bedford Little League board members, coaches and parents have organized a celebration tonight.
Though the original venue was suppose to be at HoSang Field, at the Little League Complex on Nashua Road, forecasted rain has forced the event indoors, where organizers have secured Sullivan Arena at Saint Anselm College (see attached map) for the festivities. The event begins at 7 tonight and is expected to extend no later than 8:30.
