Friday night football is right around the corner and Taylorville residents will have the opportunity to see their purple and gold play under the lights on a new turf field.
Mayor Bruce Barry says the turf is in town and it should be installed and ready to go in early August, so it might be ready for the purple and gold scrimmage.
Mayor Barry is happy to announce that this turf field is coming to the football field without taxes having to be raised.
Mayor Barry appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
