District VIII - August 17, 2019 - A Night With the Curve

Great fun, great weather and great company greeted 22 members of the District VIII POMA family on a Saturday night in Altoona. When you include the buffet with burgers & hot dogs, it was a near perfect evening. The Altoona Curve won 5-0 against the Bowie Baysox and the night ended to an amazing firework display set to the music of U2.
