2011 Hot Stove Banquet Announced

In case you missed it over at LumberKings.com, tickets for the 2011 Hot Stove Banquet on Saturday, January 29 at Eagle Point Lodge are now on sale.  Tickets ($25 for adults, $15 for kids 12 and under) can be purchased via a LumberKings’ board member or by calling the main office at 563-242-0727.

Manager Eddie Menchaca will be the keynote speaker this season.  You’ll also get to hear from General Manager Ted Tornow, Assistant GM Nate Kreinbrink and myself.

If that’s not enough to lure you, we’ll also be holding a silent auction and raffle with proceeds going to Friends of Riverview Stadium.  Amongst items available for either bid or raffle will be a bat autographed by Hall-of-Famer Ryne Sandberg, a signed picture of 2010 Midwest League Home Run Champion and Seattle Mariners first-round pick Nick Franklin, a 2010 team signed baseball and a lot more.

The doors open at 6 PM for social hour, with the program beginning at 7 PM.  Hope to see you there.
