Special Olympics

BASA Black Attack are National Champions!

Winning in impressive fashion, the Beardstown Area Special Athletes (BASA) Black Attack Softball Team are the Special Olympics North American National Champion. Unsure of what the competition on the grandest of stages would be like, the Black Attack coaches were just hoping to compete and at least win a game.

An ambassador of love

This year’s Grand Marshall of the Beardstown Fall Festival is not someone who is recognized for years at a job or someone who is well known for their achievements, but someone who just simply loves everybody. He could very easily be Beardstown’s ambassador of love.
