Hi Betsy and Julie, 

Hope you’re well! Just a heads-up that we’re doing a music fest at our home game on Sunday, June 2nd at 1pm at Hormel in case anyone from your group is interested. 

School of Rock Medford will be there with an instrument “petting zoo,” a pregame music class for children, and a rock band photo booth. Mayor Breanna will be throwing an opening pull. There will also be lawn games, face painting, the Work Hard Eat Good food truck, and our Night Shift beer garden. 

Just wanted to pass along the info in case any families from the Medford Community Chorale and youth choir would like to come check it out. 

Tickets are available here and kids can get discounted $10 tickets with code KID24.

Many thanks,

Katy
