 The annual Scout Night at the Bluefish is kicking off and ready to be another terrific program for 2010. We’ve locked in two great dates: Saturday, June 12 & Saturday, Sept. 11 for this annual event and with the 100th Anniversary of Scouting upon us, we’d like to fill the stands with a sea of blue (uniforms that is)! We’ve even kept the price the same.
New for 2010 is the return of Tiger Tickets. A free ticket is available for every new Tiger Cub recruited into your pack this spring or early fall. Let the boys’ first activity be one filled with energy and enthusiasm and most importantly, a fun night with mom and dad at the ballpark. We’re also exploring opening up a space early to have a short Scout orientation for any new parents.
So dust off your glove, shake out your cap and get ready for a terrific event for the entire family. The flyer is attached and my tickets are on hold, so as usual, put in your reservations early and we’ll see you at the ballpark!!
