If you answered YES to these questions then mark your calendar for Saturday, March 6th and head on down to New Britain Stadium for the 11th annual Rock Cats’ FanFest. Gates open at 10am and the event rolls on until 2pm. Complimentary coffee and breakfast in the morning is a nice start, then as the day rolls on they will serve
hot dogs, peanuts and crackerjacks to all attendees. Just listing those foods has my mouth watering for the ball park! The day will also be filled with events for the whole family. They have a kid-friendly zone set up which will include a moon bounce, face painting, arts and crafts and of course all of the wacky Rock Cats mascots. Also, all visitors to the park will get a “back stage” tour of the park, including a visit to the press box, a luxury suite, the clubhouse and even the Rock Cats dugout.
The event also signifies the opening of the box office for the upcoming season. Fans will be able to purchase individual game tickets and group tickets starting on
Saturday. The event is free of charge to all who attend and the Rock Cats are asking for donations towards two separate charitable causes – The Fairy Godmother’s Initiative and CREC, Capital Region Education Center. And how about this for a kicker (as if you actually need one at this point); if you bring a donation of beauty supplies or baseball equipment (or both) to help these causes out, the Rock Cats are going to repay your generosity on the spot with two FREE tickets to Opening Night on April 8th. I told you earlier to mark your calendar!

This sounds like an awesome day, thanks for the info! I always look forward to the start of Red Sox season, and have often dreamed of going down to Florida to see some Grapefruit League games. But because of my budget, i often resign myself to a couple Sox games per season, and I try to fill the gaps with Paw Sox games at McCoy. The Paw Sox stadium is a wonderful little park, very family friendly and college student friendly...but it's nice to hear about something like this event, which sounds like an awesome alternative to pre-season Red Sox festivities.
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily! I agree, this is that time of the year where I start getting antsy about opening day. I've been to Spring Training in both Florida and Arizona and I can't say enough about it. It's pretty cool to be watching baseball in 80 degree weather when it's snowing back home too!
ReplyDeleteAnd this Rock Cats FanFest does sound like fun, huh? I'm trying to recruit my two little nephews into taking the trek down next weekend. I'll let you know if the convoy has any open seats!
When is Greg Blosser Day?
