January 19th teens from Exeter, Visalia, Hanford, and Bakersfield are invited to a day of spiritual "Fusion" and fun at the new McDermont Field House in Lindsay.  Along with a devotional the teens will have an opportunity to enjoy everything the new facility has to offer.  The cost is $25.00 per teen for full access of the facility including games. However you will need to bring money for food. For more information see Bob.
