Dedication planned just in time for the fall sports season: The new entrance and ticket booth at Alumni Stadium, a project that had been several years in the making, resulted from the generosity of many donors, volunteers and businesses in the community. To honor those who made this project possible, the public is invited to the Ticket Booth Dedication Night to be held Friday, Sept. 12, at 5:30 pm. The Sanford Alumni Association was involved in funding the recently completed entrance, which was designed and constructed by the Sanford Regional Technical Center’s staff and students.
