June Events
June 9, 2010
Ultraclean Smokeout
When: June 17 from 11am to 2pm
Where: Hawk’s Stadium
Why: This is a fun networking event.
About the event:
Brandon Wright of UltraClean stated, “The Boise Hawks is opening up the stadium at 11am and we are going to have a contest, 20 people are going to give their 30 second commercial, we will pick the top five (crowd decides) and then its a show down with new rules (announced at that time to make it interesting). The top winner will get an amazing prize. The Value is you get to pitch your business to the crowd. Then at 11:30am we will open up the concession stands, the field, the dugout, locker rooms, take a tour of the park, play catch or Frisbee in the outfield, batting in the infield, do what you want and have fun. This event is all FREE donated by the Hawks. June 17th at 11am till 2pm. See you there.”
Note: This is not a Tricycle event, but an event we highly recommend.
