Mayer offers a variety of events
Mayer organizations offer a great variety of events and a good time every year.
In both spring and fall, for example, you can enjoy the Mayer Fire Department’s all-you-can-eat fish fry at the Mayer Community Center. The fall fish fry is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 28, 2007. The spring fish fry is set for Sunday, April 6, 2008.
Mayer starts the year by opening Old School House Parks and West Ridge Park. West Ridge Park has new playground equipment that’s only three years old.
Baseball will keep you entertained in the summer. The Mayer Baseball Club not only plays games in which to participate or watch, but also hosts an annual Beef Sunday during one of the games in July. The dinner fills you up, and great prizes are donated by local businesses.
Community recreation offers t-ball in the summer and soccer in the fall for area youth. Contact the city hall to enroll.
