NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The LaFesta Baseball Exchange, a North Adams youth baseball staple, holds its Pasta & Meatballs Dinner on Thursday, June 28, to fundraise for their annual baseball exchange series between North Adams and the North End of Boston.

In its 28th season, the LaFesta Baseball Exchange celebrates its 100th game played this year. Several hundreds of kids from across the Northern Berkshires and the North End of Boston have participated in the exchange, enjoying America’s pastime whilst exploring what the other team’s hometown has to offer.

The dinner, sponsored by the Community Italian American Organization of the Berkshires, will take place at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish Center on Thursday, June 28, from 4-7 p.m. The $10 tickets for the dinner include the pasta and meatballs, a salad, and a beverage. There will also be home-made dessert available for purchase.

Tickets for the dinner can be purchased for either a LaFesta baseball player or at the door the night of the dinner. For more details, head to http://www.facebook.com/LaFestaBaseballExchange.
