Toledo Mud Hens News Release
HEY MUD HENS FANS... Let's get this season going!

We are ranked THE BEST Minor League city in the U.S.A.- thanks Liveability.com
Can it get it any better? You bet.
Here is the 2019 Mud Hens Promo Schedule- well, not all of it- we're saving some surprises for later.
Let's get started.
Games you don't want-- You Can't- miss!
1. Opening Day & Summer Opening Day - April 4 & June 8 Doubleheader
It's Opening DAY! Shout it from the Dugout Rooftop... and mark it on your calendar... April 4th!
But wait, this day is sooooo fun we're celebrating it again on Saturday June 8.
It's SUMMER Opening Day!!
Kickoff the season on April 4 with rooftop parties, Brewfest in the Home Run Terrace and the Rockin' Hensville Block Party. Then do it all over again on Saturday, June 8. The Summer Opening Day doubleheader game will feature inflatables, fireworks, live music, and a special guest appearance by the high-energy driven balancing act, the Amazing Tyler. (www.amazingtyler.com) Three games for the price of two? Sold!
2. Rock 'N' Blast - July 3
Salute the U.S.A. at the July 3 Rock 'N' Blast Mud Hens game and fireworks show. If you have never seen a postgame firework show, THIS IS THE ONE. The Rock 'N' Blast postgame fireworks extend around the ballpark to create a visual performance unlike any other! The 20-minute show, synced to music, features fireworks shooting from the warning track and Monroe Street. You won't want to miss it!
3. Labor Day Picnic - September 2
Don't head for home right after the downtown parade on Labor Day. Instead, celebrate the day and America's favorite pastime at the final regular season Mud Hens game of 2019. Hensville Park will have activities for the family and Muddy will be throwing a party with a huge picnic feast- because 'who really wants to work on Labor Day'.
N.E.W. That's right. These are brand spanking NEW for 2019
Sunday Brunch with Muddy and Muddonna - Select Sunday's - 11:00am
Sunday brunch. YUM. But we're not stopping there. This season on select Sundays prior to the Mud Hens game, brunch includes appearances by your favorite Birds. Combine this with Muddy and Spike's inflatable theme park in Hensville Park, pregame player autographs, and postgame kids run the bases, there is something for every age.
