Subject: Monkton 2007... Update -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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!
