Opening Ceremonies & Popcorn Fundraiser Winners
After the parade, we’ll move right into our Opening Ceremonies on the Major field, where we’ll introduce teams, coaches, and league officials, and officially welcome everyone to the start of the season.
We’ll also announce the winners of the Popcorn Fundraiser! If your team put in the effort selling popcorn, be sure to stick around to hear who takes home the prize.
Gift Basket Raffle
Want to take home an awesome prize? Be sure to grab your Gift Basket Raffle tickets! There will be some exciting baskets up for grabs donated by every team in the league!
We’ll announce the raffle winners after the first games, and you must be present to win so keep your tickets handy!
