Tiffin University's baseball team recently assisted Riehm's Farm just outside Tiffin, Ohio with necessary work in preparation for their Barnyard Fun Weekends.

Riehm's Farm recently endured an electrical fire that resulted in the loss of a barn and livestock. Assistance from the community has helped the family during the difficult time, and the baseball team along with Head Coach Joe Wilkins saw an opportunity to give their aid.

"The family really needed help after the fire and we thought we could help," said Wilkins. "Along with helping the family, it helps the team see how they can impact the community. It shows how much can be accomplished when we all work together. The whole team worked in three two-hour shifts and got a lot of things accomplished. It shows how even working for that small amount of time can really change people's lives."

The team helped paint fences, set up decorative displays throughout the property, erected fencing, and applied wood sealant to the wagons used during the hay rides.
