Many have cooperated in developing the new site in South Williamsport for Little League for the 20th anniversary World Series but none with greater devotion than the men of the Williamsport Technical Institute.

Only those on the project from the beginning can truly appreciate the scope of the job tackled by 25 adult students in the tech’s heavy equipment course. Thanks to their resolution and pride and stamina, magic has been wrought, transforming the huge tract north of Montgomery Pike into a beautiful playing field.

In the major phase of the operation, working 12 hours a day, the young men excavated 120,000 tons of earth and moved it as fill to the site of the playing field, creating a spacious plateau in which a diamond has been laid out and a field seeded and a grandstand and fence erected. Beyond the fence landscaped banks will be provided which will provide a vantage point similar to that of the dike at the Original Little League Field from which many thousands of fan can view the exciting games.
