Wednesday night was Taylorville Night at the home of the Springfield Sliders’ Robin Roberts Stadium, and while the temperatures were warmer than normal, community members were able to make the short trip to the capital city for some great family entertainment at the diamond.

Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Fred Ronnow was on hand for the event to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, and says this is a great event and he was proud to be a part of it.
