KEARNEY, Neb. - As the Tri-City Storm get ready to battle the Chicago Steel in a two-game series this weekend, the organization is also preparing for a special appearance from Sean and Catherine Lowe of ABC's The Bachelor Season 17.
As 'The Bachelor', Sean won the hearts of fans during the show's early 2013 run. He and Catherine were married in January of 2014.
The appearance marks the second time a reality TV star has been at the Viaero Event Center, following "Mountain Man" of A&E's Duck Dynasty, who came to Kearney in October 2013.
