A field day or "undo-kai" of our neighborhood association

Today, we held "undo-kai" or a field day of our neighborhood association. The weather was fine and very hot in the morning, but more than 100 people, young and old, gathered in our minipark "6-chome Koen". We, officials of the association, began to prepare everything in the event site. We first pitched two big tents, then,  leveled the ground, drew lines, set a loudspeaker, prepared prizes, arranged tools for each event in the program, and so on. I served as one of the starters. The weather was sunny, and the temperature was very high, so I got sunburned.
In the afternoon, after our undo-kai had finished and we had cleaned up the site, it became cloudy and foggy. I stayed at home listening to the play-by-play radio broadcast of a high school baseball final game between Tomakomai Komazawa senior high school and Tomakomai Higashi senior high school. Komazawa is a very strong team because it became the champion of all Japan twice, in 2006 and 2007. And Tomakomai Higashi is the school which I retired from after I had taught for 22 years. The game was a very tough and close  one, which went into the 13th extra-inning, and finally, Komazawa won by 3-1.
