Trustmark Bank Presents -- "A Night With the Stars" Come Out and Meet Atlanta Braves Players Jeff Francoeur, Brian McCann, and Blaine Boyer
The Mississippi Braves, in conjunction with Trustmark Bank, announce "A Night With the Stars". "A Night With the Stars" is a special 'Fan-Fest' at Trustmark Park on Saturday, February 4 from 4:00-8:00 pm. Admission will be $45 per adult, $25 per child 14 and under, and free for children three years old and younger. All proceeds from the event will go to The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Mississippi, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Goodwill Industries, and The Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi.
Fans at "A Night With the Stars" can experience the Mississippi Braves and Trustmark Park like never before. Upon admission, fans get unlimited use of the Mid-South Ford Dealers Family Fun Zone Inflatables (weather permitting), a buffet ticket to the Cellular South Cafe for food and drinks, and a behind the scenes tour of the entire Trustmark Park facility. Fans can also meet and get autographs from former Mississippi Braves and current Atlanta Braves Jeff Francoeur, Brian McCann, and Blaine Boyer. There will be a question and answer session with Francoeur, McCann, and Boyer with fan's questions and the Braves' answers on the jumbo video scoreboard.
Fans can watch Braves highlights on the jumbo video scoreboard, bid on silent auction items, purchase raffle tickets to win great prizes, and meet the Mississippi Braves mascots. In addition, interested fans get the opportunity to reserve season tickets for the 2006 season. Fans can actually choose which seats they want and sit in them before they buy.
Every fan at "A Night With the Stars" will receive a complimentary Mississippi Braves baseball hat, an official Southern League baseball, an official 2005 Mississippi Braves media guide, and color photos of Francoeur, McCann, and Boyer.
"We are incredibly excited to be able to offer this 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to meet three fantastic Major League Baseball players right here at Trustmark Park. Not only did they play for the Atlanta Braves, but all three received national recognition for their quick, direct jump to the big leagues from right here in Mississippi in 2005. What a fantastic opportunity to meet these guys 'up close and personal' and know that your admission is going to some great local charities. Lastly, I want to publicly give a great big thank you to Trustmark Bank for helping make this all possible," stated Mississippi Braves General Manager Steve DeSalvo.
Tickets for "A Night With the Stars" will go on sale at the main ticket office at Trustmark Park on Friday, January 20, at 9:00 am. Admission is limited to 1000 tickets so advanced purchases are encouraged. Tickets can be ordered by phone with a major credit card by calling 601-932-8788 or 1-888-BRAVES4.
