Annual Battle of the Bluefields approaches with online ticket sales

Less than a week remains before the Battle of the Bluefields, featuring the Beavers and G-Men. This year, tickets will be sold online, with assistance available at the gate for those unfamiliar with the process. Improvements to Mitchell Stadium are underway, including plans for a new 4,000-seat facility and lights, enhancing future events. This match, significant in local rivalries, is said to be the 100th meeting, although historical records may vary. A book signing event with Emilee Hackey is also scheduled for August 29 at the Tazewell County Public Library.
