Land O' Lakes, FL – On Saturday May 17th, Ierna's Heating & Cooling delivered a much needed utility vehicle to the Recreation Center located on Collier Parkway in Land O Lakes. Ron Ierna and Rob Kress presented Tom Ketterer, of the Land O' Lakes Little League Board of Directors, the keys to a brand new Bristers 2x4 utility vehicle.
Rob Kress stated "Ierna's is a continued & proud supporter of the Land O Lakes little league. Over the last few years we have donated much needed equipment to help support the continued growth of youth athletics in our area. This year we did something a little different, but a vehicle was an item the Rec Center was in dire need of. They had been borrowing a golf cart for sometime but had to give it back to the owner 3 weeks ago. We are just very glad we could make this happen."
Recently 40 acres have been added to the local recreation center bringing the total size of the property to aprox. 80 acres. Only one concession actually prepares food while there are three concession stands that sell food. Freshly grilled hotdogs, burgers & other food items must be transported continuously throughout the days and evenings. The vehicle is also fitted with a trailer hitch which will allow equipment to be hooked to the gas powered vehicle to help prepare the fields, empty trash bins and move sports equipment to and from the fields.
The new set of wheels was immediately put to work that warm Saturday morning. As the games wrapped up, trophies were delivered via the utility vehicle directly to the fields where the children were shaking hands, exchanging "Good Game" and ending another great season of baseball & softball.
