About this event
Did you know that trees sequester carbon from the air and make wood out of it? Wood is used for many things – like baseball bats. In an unassuming building in downtown Holyoke, Rutto Bats manufactures MLB certified baseball bats from locally harvested wood. Learn the attributes of a quality bat and watch the process of making one unfold. Hard hat and safety goggles are issued.
Children (ages 8 and over) must be accompanied by an adult. Meet at the Visitor Center for a one-block walk. The program is free but registration is required by calling 413-534-1723.
