Mud Hen Game - July 31, 2:05pm.
MVGA members are invited to a Mud Hen game on Sunday, July 31st, at 2:05 pm. The Hens play Indianapolis that afternoon, and the kids get to run the bases!
We need a minimum of 25 attendees up to a maximum of 50 since we will be meeting on the “perch,” a private catered space at the Club level. This location is a covered space with a 2-hour block of time set aside for our All-American buffet.
All American Buffet
Grilled Hot Dogs, Grilled Hamburgers, Mac & Cheese, and Tossed Salad. Every Picnic Includes Lay’s Potato Chips, Assorted Cookies, Assorted Canned Pepsi Products, and Bottled Water.
As members of MVGA, we will pay half your ticket cost of $36, which gets you a baseball ticket and the buffet. MVGA will invoice all attendees the balance of $18 per person.
Mark your calendar. More info to follow as the date gets closer. For more details contact Joe Perlaky at 419-356-4847
