Eugene Emeralds News Release
EUGENE, OR - It's going to be groovy at PK Park this Friday. Fans are invited to come out to the park as the Eugene Emeralds host Grateful Dead 60's Night on Friday, July 17. The first 1,000 fans through the Home Plate Gate will also receive a Jersey Cooler Bag presented by Pepsi.
This Flashback Friday, presented by Northwest Toyota Dealers, is part of the season long promotion with the Emeralds to honor each decade of the teams existence. Fans will be reminded of the colorful counter-culture movement at the heart of Eugene's history, including music from the Grateful Dead. The Team Store will also have throwback Emeralds jerseys on sale throughout the night.
During the game, Tamarack Aquatic Center will be featured as the Kendall Community Spotlight. The Pool's programs help meet the healthy, wellness, therapeutic, and rehabilitative needs of all community members regardless of age, ability, or income.
