Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto announced that the Town of Oyster Bay has once again been chosen to host the Long Island Senior
Softball Association’s (LISSA) Division 5 All-Star Game. This year’s game will take place on Monday, Oct. 5 at 6 p.m. at John J. Burns Town Park, which is located on Merrick Road in Massapequa.
“This is another unique and fun event that the Town Board is glad to have back in the Town of Oyster Bay,” said Venditto. “These players are passionate and give it 110 percent when they are on the field. It is an exciting event for both players and spectators.”
LISSA’s Division 5 is a league for players 68 years of age and older, from throughout communities across Long Island. The league plays throughout the spring and summer and some of its most accomplished players are selected to play in the All-Star game.
“I am proud that the Town of Oyster Bay hosts many exciting and entertaining events such as the Long Island Senior Softball Association’s Division 5 All-Star Game,” Venditto added. “I invite everyone to come to John J. Burns Park to enjoy the game. It will be a fun night.”
“The town’s parks and fields are some of the finest facilities in the Nation and that is why leagues such as ours often choose the Town of Oyster Bay as the venue for their signature events,” said Bernie Rosen, an event organizer with LISSA. “We enjoy a great relationship with the town and share similar goals with providing great recreational opportunities for our area’s seniors.”
Admission to the game is free. In the event of bad weather, a rain date of Wednesday, Oct. 6 has been set.
