Over a year after losing a son and brother in Treyton to an alcohol-related car accident, the Kilar family is getting closer to seeing the “Treyton Kilar Field of Dreams” become a reality. The family has raised about $315,000 of the roughly $450,000 needed to build the little-league field in Treyton’s memory.

It was a race too close to call, and one that ended on a disappointing note for many supporters of “Treyton Kilar’s Field of Dreams.” The project was edged out at the last minute to receive a $250,000 Pepsi Refresh grant during the competition in January. Despite the setback, the Kilar family is determined to make the dream a reality.
