families will have a great time in Historic Vancouver, Washington.
Housing will not be available for this tournament. This Packet contains information on hotels

You and your representative are invited to a Picnic on August 2nd, 2016 at 5:00 PM. This will

To: Junior League Baseball Western State and Divisional Champions
Washington District 4 and the Local Little Leagues are your hosts for the 2016 Junior League
Baseball Western Region Tournament in Vancouver, Washington.
We would like to extend our congratulations to the teams that are participating in this year’s
tournament. We look forward to meeting all of you and hope that your stay with us is a safe and
enjoyable one.
Please review all materials enclosed in this packet prior to your arrival in Vancouver,
Washington.
During your visit, we hope you will take some time to enjoy the many sights and sounds of
Southwest Washington and the Vancouver area. It has something to offer everyone: Historical Sites,
Entertainment, and superb dining.
Housing will not be available for this tournament. We have, however, negotiated special rates
at two area hotels that are close to the stadium. These are the three hotels to be used by the teams.
The use of these hotels is critical to the financial success of the tournament. This packet contains
information on these hotels. Whichever hotel your team chooses, please follow their instructions on
how to reserve rooms for your team as this will save you time and money.
Because Propstra Stadium is a rented venue, it will be necessary to charge admission to all
games. The price of admission to games will be $7.00 per day per person, or a family pass may be
purchased for $30.00. This pass will be good for the entire tournament. These passes will be available
at the welcome picnic on August 4th, and at the gate on game days.
We will need your team roster by July 27th, 2016 to have it placed in the program and on the
shirts. Please email to district4@comcast.net.
On August 2nd, 2016 5:00 PM there will be a Welcome Picnic at Propstra Stadium on the
campus of Hudson Bay High School for your team, coaching staff and parents. Please be prepared to
turn over your Affidavit Packets prior to the Picnic. It is strongly recommended that you have your
medical releases notarized prior to arriving in Vancouver, as the hospitals in the area may not treat
patients without it being done.
Following the picnic on August 2nd, there will be a mandatory meeting for all managers and
coaches. This session will take place at the Stadium.
At 12:00 PM on August 3rd we will have the opening ceremonies. All players must be in
uniform and attend.
Please check with your tournament director to be sure your roster has been sent to us for the
tournament program. Once again we look forward to your participation in the Regional Tournament, if
you find you still have question, please contact me at (360) 695-6573, 909-6573 or

Fort Vancouver National Historic Trust
Tour 1: Officers Row
Explore Officers Row, a tree-lined street with twenty-two fully restored nineteenth-century homes north of the
Vancouver Barracks Parade Grounds. Listed on the National Historic Register, today these homes are offices and
residences with several buildings open to the public. Start or finish your tour with a meal at the restaurant located in
the stately Ulysses S. Grant House, the oldest home on the Row.
Tour 2: Fort Vancouver
Address: 1001 E. Fifth Street, Vancouver, WA
Nestled snugly near downtown Vancouver, Fort Vancouver shares the stories of the British Hudson’s Bay Company
international fur trade emporium and the region’s first military post and showcases a premier archaeological site.
Select a demonstration at the Blacksmith Shop, Carpenter Shop, Bake House or Kitchen. Stop at the Visitor Center to
view exhibits and documentary films and to visit the bookstore. Touring the Fort with a guide grants groups access to
spaces not normally open to the public. On summer weekends, special events and cultural programs are also
available.
Tour 3: Water Resources Education Center
Address: 4600 SE Columbia Way, Vancouver, WA
When you visit Vancouver’s Water Resources Education Center overlooking the Columbia River near Marine Park,
you’ll experience hands-on exhibits, educational programs, and events designed to instruct how to be better
environmental stewards. Enjoy the hands-on, interactive activities in the Exhibit Hall. View the nature-inspired art in
the White Sturgeon Art Gallery and take in the panoramic view of the Columbia River from the Center’s balconies.
You can get a closer look at the rolling Columbia River and nearly 50 acres of wildlife-rich wetlands from the
Marine Park Overlook that also connects visitors to Vancouver’s Renaissance Trail, a paved waterfront trail enjoyed
by walkers, runners, and bicyclists
Area Attractions
Beacon Rock State Park, about 35 miles East of Vancouver, is one of the Northwest's more enjoyable day trips.
After driving for less than an hour through the scenic Columbia Gorge, you arrive at the base, where it is advisable to
use restroom facilities and prepare for a relatively short, but moderately vertical hike up the 1-mile trail to the top of
this old volcanic core, the second-largest free-standing monolith in the world (after the Rock of Gibraltar).
Spectacular views of the Gorge, the river, and various wildlife will be your reward. The park also offers camping and
more hiking trails, if you feel so inclined, or you wish to avoid other hikers.
Mount St. Helens and the Ape Caves are less than an hour north of Vancouver. Get great views of the mountain
or drive up closer to the observatory. The Ape Caves are lava tunnels that can be explored, though be sure to bring an
excellent flashlight and warm clothing, because even on the hottest and brightest days, the Ape Caves are cool, dark,
and damp. While up there, be sure to stop at one of the many reservoirs for a picnic or a swim.
