MARION, IL – State Representative Patrick Windhorst (R-Metropolis) and State Representative Paul Jacobs (R-Pomona) hosted their annual Summer Reading Club Night at the Ballpark at Mountain Dew Park in Marion on Wednesday.
Rep. Windhorst thanked summer readers and their parents and the staff of the Thrillville Thrillbillies for their participation and hospitality.
“I am proud to host so many dedicated students and their parents for our annual summer reading club celebration,” Windhorst said. “Interacting with students, encouraging them to read during their summer break, and hosting them for some great baseball is a joy every summer. I look forward to this event every year!”
Rep. Paul Jacobs echoed Windhorst’s sentiments.
“What’s better than encouraging kids to read during their summer break and rewarding them with some tickets to a baseball game at the famous Mountain Dew Park?” Jacobs said. “I am so proud of my summer readers. These kids have a lot to be proud of!”
Summer readers were rewarded with two tickets to watch the Thrillbillies play and an Official Certificate of Congratulations from the Illinois House of Representatives.
