Hernandez added that teams book a year out and put down deposits for a spot.
“It’s out in Cooperstown, New York. Right next to the hall of fame, he added. About 102 teams go out there and the kids get an opportunity to play teams from all over the country.
But they were just thrown a major curveball. Officials at the Cooperstown Dreams Park said that all children 12 and up must have a COVID-19 vaccine to participate.
But there’s one problem, the FDA hasn’t approved the vaccine for use in anyone under 16 yet. This announcement has dashed the dreams of players like Dominick Chavarria.

Remember that wacky wagon train known to history as the Donner Party? Eighty-seven souls stranded during a particularly nasty winter while making the trek from Missouri to California in 1846. Party members starved, froze, and some resorted to cannibalism. Of the 87 who began the journey, only 48 finished it. But if there was a consolation prize for the survivors, it’s that they ended up really liking California.
One of those survivors, Virginia Reed, wrote a letter back home to relatives in Illinois, telling them how great things were in Cali. In fact, she tried to persuade her female relatives to join her! Now, that wasn’t an easy sell. The journey had led to a mass-casualty event. And here was Virginia writing to her cousin Mary, barely two months after the hellish ordeal, saying, “Make the same trip!”
Members of the Granada Trustees, local school board and Prowers County Commissioners were on hand for a streaming and live-time ribbon cutting ceremony today for the Consolidated Return Mail Center in Granada.
Operations Manager, Pete Hernandez with Commissioners
Commissioner Wendy Buxton-Andrade provided opening remarks at the outset of the January 14
th event, “This day and journey started a year ago at a CCI conference. Lanie, Prowers County Human Service Director, received a proposal from the State requesting a business model, plan, and proposal be developed by a county to form the Statewide Consolidated Returned Mail Center. Never shy to a challenge, and the opportunity to grow our county and most important our economy, I just knew Prowers County was the perfect location for this new business venture so I started making calls to my fellow Commissioners.
