(KNZA)--For the second year in row, the city of Horton has been awarded a grant from Royals Charities for ballfield improvements.

Horton City Administrator John Calhoon told MSC News this year's award is for $9,904.

He said the grant will be used for the purchase of infield mix products and/or red shale.

Calhoon applied for the grant in September.

There is no local match requirement.

The city was awarded a $5,000 grant last year from the non-profit organization.
