HICKORY – The Hickory Crawdads have scheduled their Open House for April 6 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at L.P. Frans Stadium.
The free event features games, amusements, concessions and exclusive ticket specials.
Fans will receive a free ticket to Opening Night with every individual game ticket purchased, i.e. a purchase of four tickets for a regular-season game would get a fan four tickets for the April 11 season-opening game at Frans (the offer is not valid for the purchase or redemption of undated vouchers).
Fans can also receive four free tickets to Opening Night by booking a group outing for the 2019 season. Group outings include all-you-can-eat picnics and rentals of luxury suites and party patios.
Catawba Valley Community College (CVCC) will play Southeastern Community College- Whiteville on the field, starting at 11 a.m.
The Open House will also feature an inflatable bounce house, speed pitch, cornhole and an arts and crafts table.
The Catawba Farms Crawdads Café and the first base concession stand will be open throughout the event.
Packets and badges will be available for pickup for sweetFrog Claw Club members, Hickory Falls Silver Sluggers and season ticket holders who have already purchased memberships.
