Knights Release 2015 Promo Schedule.
April 2, 2015Reggy: The Purple Party Dude is Coming to Corvallis
Three fireworks nights, a first-time appearance by Reggy: The Purple Party Dude, and the return of $1,000 Kids Dash for Cash Night and Cap Night headline this season's promotional schedule for the Corvallis Knights ninth season at Goss Stadium.
Add six, count 'em, six Block 15 Thursdays; Big League Chew, tee-shirt, mini bat, rally towel, reusable grocery tote bag, ice coffee tumbler and baseball giveaway nights and many other community and theme nights and there is plenty of fun planned for Knights' games June through August this summer.
And there are several new promotions as well, like Beaver Basketball Night, College Night, 104.7 KDUK's Working Women's Wednesday, Crack the Crabs Night and Spindrift Cellars Tasting Nights.
Those attractions, and many others, comprise the promotional schedule the Knights unveiled on Thursday. The hometown team opens its season at Goss on June 3 with a nonconference home game against the Portland Sea Dogs on PEAK Internet Science, Engineering & Art Day, presented by the OSU Colleges of Science and Engineering. Big League Chew Opening Night presented by AmeriTitle is June 9.
As is customary, the brightest star in the promotional galaxy is the team's July 2 Oregon State Credit Union Fireworks Night game against Victoria, a rite of summer in the mid-valley. The last six holiday Fireworks Nights have been sellouts, and the 2009 edition drew a franchise-record crowd of 3,506 fans.
"We've put together what we believe is another fun-filled promotional schedule that provides night after night of affordable entertainment," Knights' GM Bre Miller said. "We are so excited Reggy is coming to Corvallis. He comes highly recommended by our friends with the Hillsboro Hops and Boise Hawks of the Northwest League."
"Reggy will be lots of fun for the entire family, and you can't beat our fireworks. Goss is the place to be this summer!"
