Home Run for Second Harvest Heartland as Lunds and Byerly's Goes Deep

ST. PAUL, MN (February 9, 2009) - Salmon P. Chase is the answer to the trivia question, "Whose face appeared on the $10,000 bill?" While the bill is no longer in existence, the philanthropic grocer Lunds and Byerly's will match donations of up to 10,000 George Washington's to benefit Second Harvest Heartland for the Crispin Iceball Adventure Game at Midway Stadium, home of the St. Paul Saints.

Crispin Natural Hard Apple Cider, the architect of the unique event, is inviting fans to come to an afternoon of festivities on Saturday, February 28, to donate cash, food and warm clothing. Every dollar raised on the afternoon will be matched by Lunds and Byerly's, up to $10,000. This is the equivalent of $90,000 in food for the needy.

The Greatest Baseball Adventure Over Ice is a five inning outdoor ballgame that offers everything a regular season Saints game provides: crazy between promotions (only this time in the snow), appearances by two-legged mascot Mudonna (with frostbite) and entertainment for kids of all ages (appropriately bundled up, of course).

The festivities begin at 1:30 p.m., the Saints will open their parking lot for tailgating. At 2:00 p.m. patrons can enjoy a Cities 97/KFAN live band, a tailgating cooking demonstration and other entertainment. First pitch is at 3:09 p.m.

The afternoon is free of charge and proceeds from Saints food vendors will be donated to Second Harvest Heartland. Fans are encouraged to donate cash, food and warm clothing. In addition, Crispin's wholesale distributor, J.J. Taylor, will match the dollar amount raised by Crispin Hard Cider for cases consumed through bars, restaurants and liquor stores for the month of February and donate it to Second Harvest Heartland. Sometimes giving back is a worthy adventure in itself.
