Unemployment Night this Monday
August 20, 2009 - South Atlantic League (SAL1)
Hickory Crawdads News Release
HICKORY, N.C. - In an attempt to temporarily alleviate some of the stresses of the current economic climate, the Hickory Crawdads, South Atlantic League affiliate of the Texas Rangers, will hold Unemployment Night during this Monday's game against the Asheville Tourists.
Fans can receive up to four complimentary tickets to this Monday's game by presenting either their North Carolina Employment Security Commission (NCESC) debit card or a printed statement from their NCESC Internet account at the Crawdads Ticket Office.
"We realize it is a tough time for a number of people in our community," said Crawdads General Manager Mark Seaman. "While we can't fix their individual situations, we would like to offer them a three-hour reprieve. Families can come out and spend some time together in a family-friendly environment and forget about their current situations for a short time period."
Gates open at 6 p.m. and first pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. this Monday. For more information regarding the Crawdads Unemployment Night, call the Front Office at (828) 322-3000 or go to Hickorycrawdads.com.
Crawdads Clippings:
The Crawdads will resume Wednesday night's suspended ballgame against Greenville this evening at 5 p.m., and then will play an additional seven-inning game to wrap up the series tonight. It is the second-to-last $1 Beverage Night of the season, with your favorite beverages costing just a buck at the ballpark! Also, Banned on Wednesday will be performing at the Crawdad Cafe after the game.
The Crawdads then kick off the series against Asheville on Friday night at 7 p.m. with Friday Night Fireworks, sponsored by The Light 106.9 FM, as well as the Extreme Physical Science Show, presented by Catawba Science Center. The Crawdads will also usher former GM David Haas to the South Atlantic League Hall of Fame with a pre-game ceremony before Friday night's game!
