SENATORS SEARCHING FOR “KLUBHOUSE KIDS”
Two lucky youngsters will be faces of the team for 2008

Are YOU the biggest Harrisburg Senators fan around? Prove it! Kids aged 12 and under can enter the Senators’ Klubhouse Kids contest for a chance to receive the VIP treatment for the entire 2008 season! “Tryouts” are scheduled for March 1st at center Court of the Harrisburg Mall, 11:30am-2pm as part of the Harrisburg enators FanFest.

Two kids will be selected: one boy and one girl. Each prospect will have about 60 seconds on stage during the FanFest to show judges why he or she deserves to be a Klubhouse Kid. Youngsters can show off their cheering prowess, sing a song, perform magic tricks… whatever it takes to convince the judges that they are the most enthusiastic fanatics in town. Prospects do NOT need to be baseball players to win; just huge fans of the Senators!

Entrants must pre-register by calling Emily Winslow at 717-231-4444 or e-mailing ewinslow@senatorsbaseball.com. Only 100 tryout spots are available. Prospects must attend the FanFest to be considered.

The winners will be the face of the team for the 2008 season; they will receive a free pass to every home game, a cameo in at least one Senators’ TV commercial, an appearance in the Senators’ gameday program and other print media and baseball cards featured in the Senators’ 2008 team set. Just like a top draft pick, the Klubhouse Kids will be introduced to the media at a press conference and presented with a Senators’ jersey and hat. They will throw out ceremonial first pitches on Opening Night, April 3rd at Commerce Bank Park.

The Senators’ FanFest is set for 11am-4pm, March 1st at the Harrisburg Mall’s Center Court. This is the third year in a row the Harrisburg Mall has hosted the event. The FanFest will feature various games for kids of all ages, the Senators’ famous winning spinning wheel, and for the third year in a row, the Senators will have National Anthem tryouts. The 2008 edition of the FanJam will make an appearance and Rascal and Grrrounder will sign autographs!

The 2008 season begins on Thursday, April 3rd at Commerce Bank Park when the Senators host the Cleveland Indians’ Eastern League affiliate Akron Aeros. The 2008 season marks the 22nd season for the Senators since baseball returned to City Island in 1987.
