*PrairieThunder Presents "World's Largest Beer Nuts Party" on Saturday Night *
On Saturday night, January 1st, the Bloomington PrairieThunder Hockey Team invites one and all to attend our home game at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum at 7:05pm when we play the Evansville IceMen. We are honoring the Beer Nuts Company which dates back to 1937 here in Bloomington as we host the "World's Largest Beer Nuts Party" on Saturday night.
Everyone in attendance will receive a free bag of Beer Nuts when they enter U.S. Cellular Coliseum. Then, right after the National Anthem, we'll ask everyone to show their Beer Nuts to the arena cameras. The video footage will be submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records and we hope to establish the record for the "World's Largest Beer Nuts Party" right here in Bloomington, Illinois!
