Annual NRC "Duck Soup" Softball Game a Great Success in Pittsburgh!

The annual "Duck Soup" softball game was held Tuesday, September 23, 2008, at Mt. Washington Park, in Pittsburgh, PA, during the National Recycling Coalition's 27th Congress and Expo.

The event, sponsored by GBB and Covanta Energy, was once again a great success and highly appreciated by all involved. Spectators and players alike got the opportunity to take a break and join in this networking and social opportunity. The friendly competition was played in the fun "Duck Soup" tournament format, where the rules change from inning to inning.

Thanks to all the participants! We hope to see you at next year's event!
