Potter Baseball Head Coach Jeff Potter, stated, “This is a great community and we look forward to returning to Clearfield to take on this type of project.”   CRC's Main Street Manager, Loretta Wagner comments, "Potter Baseball reiterates everything the CRC stands for, which is bringing out the best of a community.  In a setting like downtown, it is fun for the team and a value to our small town.  Shaw Public Library, Lisa Coval comments," The theme for the Summer Reading Program is, " A Universe of Stories" with a focus on exploring space and our inter story teller which relates to the introduction of community involvement.  We are very pleased that the Potter Team Tour can be part of this program by reading to the children and sharing their love of community service." We would also like to thank Visit Clearfield County and the Hampton Inn for helping to provide rooms for the Potter Baseball Team during their stay in Clearfield. PA.
