Police break up late-night picnic in baseball field in Wyomissing

That old movie line is sometimes true: “If you build it, he will come.” Especially if by “it” you mean a small fire and by “he” you mean the police.

Just before midnight on May 30, a Wyomissing police officer spotted flames in centerfield of a baseball field in the 900 block of North Seventh Street. When the officer approached the fire turned out to come from candles, where some folks had spread out a blanket and were snacking in the moon (and candle) light. The officer told them about park restrictions and sent them on their way.
