As you travel through Covington today, you might hear the sounds of crowds cheering or the cha-ching of a few more cash registers as the Dixie Boys World Series kicks off at City Pond complex. The sound should make you happy. Covington is playing host to the event for the fifth time since 1993, and, as a result, 11 youth baseball teams from states across the Southeast will be playing in our town through Wednesday, and they, their families and friends will be spending money at our hotels, restaurants and stores.
