As busloads of children streamed into McBride Stadium today, the excitement was building. Thousands of children from all over Richmond were able to get a seat for the first home game of the RiverRats.
Different organizations provided fun activities for kids like corn hole, by Reid Hospital, a demonstration on pollenation provided by Cope Environmental Center and games organized by the Richmond Parks and Recreation Department. Other businesses handed out cool things such as West End Band which provided “shades” and Meijer in Richmond gave out water bottles.
And GoWayneCounty.com was there handing out bubbles and other fun things for kids. You can see by the pictures and quotes that the kids really enjoyed themselves.
Tomorrow night is opening night for the RiverRats which means among many exciting things FIREWORKS! Go Wayne County will be there so be sure to come sign up for a great basket of prizes donated by area merchants worth over 100.00!!
The RiverRats mascot is charged up and ready to go- taking some of the first pictures of the season today with young fans. (see below)
