Johnson said that opening ceremonies would be held July 20. But even that grand opening of the tournament has World Series officials trying to decide about it. So we're a little bothered by what the weather might be like that night. Johnson said volunteer tournament personnel are in the process of soliciting sponsorships. We would like to have more sponsorships because it takes a lot of money to put this on.
Money goes for planning the events, for the games, opening ceremonies, field workers.
