PRESS RELEASE
Monkton Ont
June 21, 2007
We are now down to less than a week away from the 4th edition of the World
Fastball Invitational in Monkton, and final preparations have begun to
ensure the 2007 version lives up to it's billing as "the finest week-end in
fastball".
With the recent "test series" between Canada and New Zealand being played in
the area, I had the opportunity to hear from fans and players, just how
excited they are in anticipation of our event. Many asked what is new? What
are you doing this year? How can it possibly be any better?...
Well, first - we've added an in-ground sprinkler/irrigation system to the
infield to keep the dust down during those hot, dry summer days, and to also
solidify the reputation we boast of having one of the premier infields in
the game.
Second, we are hosting a FOOD-DRIVE promotion in conjunction with the Easton
Home Run Challenge www.eastonsports.com
on Friday evening to benefit our
local food banks. Anyone 18 and under that brings a non-perishable food
item can fill out a ballot for a chance to win Leafs/Raptors, London Knights
tickets. We will also once again give youngsters who arrive at the park in
their team uniform a chance to win the opportunity to be paired up with one
of the 9 Home Run Challenge particpants in hopes of that player winning the
competition AND $500.00 in Easton gear for their team!! Kids - visit the
Easton tent to fill out a ballot BEFORE 6:45 Friday night!!
Third, we are doing something new this year - by having a "Day Camp" for
kids aged 3-11. Parents can bring their children to the park on Saturday and
our certified and trained Child Care team will show them a day to remember!
- complete with games, crafts, amusement gym, and an autograph session with
the players!!!! Parents interested in having their children enrolled can
pre-register by visiting our website www.monktonfastball.com
We will once again have the Softball Ontario tent on-site, promoting and
educating parents and younsters about our wonderful game, as well as the ISC
World Tournament Host Committee from the Kitchener on site to promote the
World Championships in Aug. http://www.kwfastball.com/
As always, we will feature all the great food and drink that has made us
famous - avail. all week-end long outside in the huge Bud-Light beer tent
www.budlight.ca
as well as the Sat night Beef B-B-Q, and the traditional
Sunday morning Firemens Brunch. - oh, and of course those delicious Anna
Mae's pies and ice cream!
And what WFI would be complete without some great live entertainment!!!
Need An Elevator will perform in the arena Sat. night. Tickets are going
fast, so get them soon!!!
As mentioned in previous postings here on Al's , we will not only be
broadcasting our final game this year, but our opening night game as well!
