Edgar Brown Memorial Stadium is the home stadium for the Pasco High School Bulldogs of Pasco, Washington. The school's football, soccer and... track-and-field teams play their home games at "Edgar Brown", as it is commonly called. The stadium was built inside the bowl of a former gravel pit used in the construction of the Pioneer Memorial Bridge , which links Kennewick and Pasco, Washington. As well as being the home of the Pasco High Bulldogs, the stadium is home to the Pasco Invitational, the nation's oldest high school track-and-field single-day competition, and the largest single day track-and-field competition of any kind, which is always held on the first weekend of April. In 2002, a voter-approved bond issue funded a major renovation of the stadium, which included the partial-demolition of the former Emerson Elementary which was transformed into a Boys & Girls Club. Emerson Elementary received a new building north of the stadium. A community-led fund-raising effort later added a FieldTurf playing surface to the stadium, making it the second stadium in the Tri-City area to have an artificial turf stadium (Neil F.

The Pasco-Kennewick Bridge or Benton-Franklin Inter-County Bridge, known locally as the Green Bridge, was a steel cantilever truss bridge crossing... the Columbia River in central Washington, connecting the cities of Pasco and Kennewick. After it was replaced by the Cable Bridge in 1978, the bridge was demolished in 1990. It was completed in 1922 after only a year of construction, replacing an outmoded ferry system in which a single trip transported a maximum of six cars across the Columbia River. It was in fact the first bridge for vehicular traffic across the middle part of the Columbia River . Originally planned in 1913 by B. B. Horrigan, funding was not secured until 1919, when Charles G. Huber of the Union Bridge Company sold $49,000 worth of stock to finance the project, despite the country being in the grips of the Post-World War I recession. It was the first bridge of that size to be financed entirely with stock sales. The bridge was operated as a toll bridge for the first nine years; the tolls were removed once the initial construction costs had been repaid.

Bruce Eugene Kison is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He pitched from 1971-1985 for three different teams, the Pittsburgh Pirates ,... California Angels and Boston Red Sox . He batted and threw right-handed. During a 15-year career, Kison compiled 115 wins, 1,073 strikeouts, and a 3.66 ERA. When Bruce Kison pitched for Pasco High in 1968, he was already 6-foot-4½ and so slender that one manager later cracked he could look right through him. However, his size did have its advantages. When Kison uncoiled his long right arm and stretched out to the plate, there were very few right-handed hitters who could keep both feet in the batter’s box. Kison also threw mostly sidearm back then and intimidation was as much a part of his game as his 95-mph fastball. He threw three no-hitters during his senior season at Pasco High School. Three years later, he was pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Coming out of high school, Kison had hoped to play college baseball. When no offers came, he signed with the Pirates for $1,000 after a tryout camp in Sunnyside, Washington.
