Hafer Field Press Box Named In Memory Of Joey Elbert

November 22, 2014

(Spirit Lake)– The Spirit Lake school board voted unanimously Monday to name the press box at Hafer Field in memory of KUOO’s long-time Sports Director Joey Elbert, who passed away earlier in the day of cancer at the age of 49.

The board took the action after hearing a request for the naming rights from John Brown and Jeff Thee.

Brown told the board the cost of the lettering has already been donated.

The board also approved a 25-thousand dollar donation from the Bob Currell family that will be used to purchase a new Daktronics scoreboard for the football field.
