Take batting practice with RubberDucks pitching coaches! As many balls as you can hit in 2 minutes, for $75. Only 15 slots available, so advance sign-ups are encouraged.
Run the bases! Kids up to age 14 are encouraged to join the fun run at 7:30 pm.
Bid on silent auction items! Check back one week before the event for a preview of available items.
Make some memories! Snap a photo with a RubberDucks mascot, take a picture in front of the Akron Mural in the Champion's club, or Turning Page Photo booth for fun event photos.
Have fun! Stroll the park, slide down the giant inflatable slide, practice your pitching, and have an evening of Akron-centric fun, all to a soundtrack by DJ Jason of National Event Productions in Columbus.
