During those years, the concession proceeds have gone to benefit the Little Canada Senior Girls' Softball Team and the Little Canada Parks & Recreation Department. The profits from the tournament this year will be donated to the Little Canada Parks & Recreation Department for the benefit of youth recreation programs. The former Little Canada Senior Girls softball team's assistant coach, Don Bowman, is an officer of a non - profit corporation (Sportsmen Softball Club). This organization is making application for the temporary on -sale liquor license in order to enable the purchase of the necessary insurance through the MN Joint Underwriters Association. Adults that are associated with the team will conduct all liquor sales. Little Canada can be proud that MRPA has again requested to use Pioneer Park for this year's Men's Class C and Men's Over 40 State Tournament. It is nice to be able to showcase our park to others, and it is a benefit to our Parks & Recreation Department to receive the free advertising that this event provides for our City -run adult leagues. I would recommend approval of the attached temporary on -sale liquor application for this event.
