July 2, 2008 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Oklahoma City Comets News Release
(OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., July 2, 2008) - America's pastime has new meaning to children and their families this season as Nestlé Drumstick ice cream cones, The Original Sundae Cone®, sponsor Minor League Baseball and the Oklahoma Redhawks, and bring a whole new level of family fun to MiLB games across the nation.
With a roster of family fun activities, Nestlé Drumstick ice cream cones will load the bases at scores of Minor League Baseball games by hosting Nestlé Drumstick Family Daysâ¢. During these family-centric events, the Nestlé Drumstick brand will provide ticket discounts and activities for families, as well as visits from the Nestlé Drumstick Family Days tour, which is touring the nation in support of the MiLB sponsorship. At each of these tour stops, families will enjoy fun activities and will get their photos taken so they will always be able to remember the terrific time they had together. In addition to the Nestlé Drumstick Family Days, selected MiLB teams will also be hosting exciting birthday parties, which include ticket discounts, recognition by the team, special Nestlé Drumstick-branded birthday gifts and, of course, Nestlé Drumstick cones.
"We are excited to dish up a sweet part of Americana that families can slow down and enjoy together - Nestlé Drumstick ice cream cones and baseball," said John Harrison, Official Taster for Nestlé Drumstick cones. "Not only does Minor League Baseball give people the chance to see tomorrow's stars today, but it also provides a more affordable family option than a trip to a big league park."
Scott Pruitt, Co-Owner and Managing Partner of the Oklahoma Redhawks, is excited about the Nestlé Drumstick brand partnership, and thinks that "Nestle Drumstick ice cream is another great reason fans can continue to look forward to coming out to the AT&T Bricktown Ballpark."
Nestlé Drumstick ice cream cones are The Original Sundae Cone and an American icon - just like baseball. The Original Sundae Cone was invented in 1928 by the Parker Brothers and was made even better when they added chocolate coating topped with nuts. Today, the original Nestlé Drumstick cone has reinvented itself in a scrumptious and contemporary way for people who aren't fond of nuts - a Simply Dipped⢠cone coated in chocolate, but sans the nuts.
