came to play “Indian Baseball!” Winning isn’t everything, but the bragging
rights to the champions as they left it all on the field. Sportsmanship
is greatly appreciated. It was a battle on the fields, and afterwards they
acknowledged each team and shook hands afterwards.

Chehalis Tribal Days has come and gone again. If you took a break out of
your weekend to come out and watch some baseball, softball, or walk in
the cancer walk, I think you would agree with us that it was a successful
weekend. Leroy, Cheryle, Orinda and myself would like to give a big thank
you to all those who helped out during the weekend. We couldn’t have done
it without your help!
Thanks to the scorekeepers, umpires, vendors, and most of all the visitors
who travelled to our Chehalis Reservation.
All together we had 11 men’s teams, 10 women’s teams, 14 co-ed teams, and The Fire and Ice team from Taholah won the women’s
304 people in the cancer walk. Once again, if you came out any time during Softball Championship jackets, defeating the Natives in the
the weekend, give yourself a pat on the back for supporting Chehalis Tribal championship game.
Days 2015!
