As the Centralia Ball Association begins planning for the upcoming season, the ball field will be in better condition thanks to a $1,000 grant award from the Glen J. Meyer Advisory Fund through the Nemaha County STEP Foundation. The grant award provided field maintenance equipment to rake and level out the field before every game.
