Last week the city of Swift Current took the time to thank city employees for their hard work during the recent spring flooding.

On hand at the event were numerous city employees including Mayor Al Bridal and city CAO Jim Jones in addition to Swift Current 57's player Cory Bonstrom.

President of the 57's Ryan Switzer details why it was important for the organization to play a part in the city thank you breakfast.

"This summer at the ballpark we have really been pushing the hashtag to "Celebrate Swift" and we saw this as a great opportunity to not just make the social media post with the hashtag but really walk the walk. And it was awesome of Cory Bonstrom, he's a second-year player with the 57's to step up and offer to attend that breakfast."

Switzer adds that this year at the ballpark they want to celebrate the great things going on in the community and the people. 

Although the WCBL season is unpredictable and it's hard to know who is going to do what in terms of standings, Switzer provides some details on the upcoming season. 

"The one thing that we can say is there's a very experienced new head coach in town, Tim Brown. He has spent a lot of time in the world of baseball. Were really excited to see how he's going to lead our team not just in having success on the field but off the field as well. Getting out and about in the community."

In addition, Switzer says they recently had a successful downtown flexpack ticket blitz and it's great to see the team going out not just being great baseball players but also good citizens of Swift Current.
