WELCOME TO Bulldog Field! If you attended last week's game against Otis, you may have noticed an addition to the Bulldog scoreboard. A contribution from the Booster Club, the sign proudly proclaims the field to be Bulldog territory. Nancy Hinde, shown at bottom, and Val Gillotte painted the sign and Bulldog; and Loren Whitmore constructed the frame. Helping hang the sign is Bryan Kroeger holding the Bulldog, and George Michael behind the sign.
