Exciting Entertainment at The Cove

Hey Silver Hawks Fans!!

We have a great homestand coming up! The Silver Hawks staff has packed this weekend with some great entertainment and fun for fans of all ages! Friday night is Welcome Coach Brian Kelly Night! Brian Kelly is the new head coach of the Notre Dame Football team, and what better way to welcome him to the Michiana community that allow him to throw out the first pitch at a Silver Hawks home game. Not only will he be throwing out the first pitch, but he has agreed to have an autograph session throughout the third inning of the game! How EXCITING!! You won't want to miss out!

Saturday, the Silver Hawks are hosting the second annual Bellies and Baseball event. This year Bellies and Baseball is bigger and better!! Courtesy of Memorial Hospital we will have Lamaze on the field for expecting mothers from 4:30 - 5:00. Memorial Hospital will also provide information and demonstrations for expecting mothers and fathers. The best part of this event is the FABULOUS prizes that we are giving away. Memorial Hospital is giving away a CAR SEAT, books, and free Lamaze classes. Other businesses and vendors are also participating in the event. One lucky mother-to-be might go home with a stroller, car seat, baby Bjorn, and SO MUCH MORE!! Thank you to Orange Tree, Natural Way, Stroller Fit, and Memorial Health and Lifestyle Center for donating prizes! ATTENTION ALL MOMS AND DADS!! YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS EVENT!

And finally Sunday, we are celebrating Father's Day at The Cove. The first 100 father that enter the stadium will receive a free car wash courtesy of Mike's Car Wash. The Silver Hawks players are going old school and stepping back in time to the Studebaker era. The Silver Hawks players and coaches will all be wearing Studebaker replica jerseys courtesy of the Farmer's Market. Be apart of history with the South Bend Silver Hawks!

It is short three days, but we are jamming them full of exciting events and entertainment! Bring the family and friends to The Cove! Kick back with a hot dog and soft drink and enjoy America's past time.

Also, check out the GREAT renovations at The Cove. We now have new restrooms and a netting system! The netting system is UNBELIEVABLE, you feel like you are right on the field with the players! SO COOL!!

Hey Silver Hawks Fans!

A lot has been going on at The Cove since the beginning of May. We had a great School Day on May 3rd! Thanks to all those who participated! It was great to see so many familiar faces cheering on the team and dancing with me to the Chicken Dance and YMCA. Looking for another great School Day tomorrow. We are going to have over 4,000 teachers and students in our stadium. I can't wait!! Get ready for some exciting baseball, great food, and FUN!

So... have any of you met or found my friend Heraldo? Ha! Heraldo is Waldo's cousin, and he loves playing hide and go seek in the stadium. I have yet to find him this season! He wears a stocking cap, a red striped shirt and blue pants! Next time you come to The Cove be on the lookout for him but watch out because he likes to change hiding places.

Also, be on the lookout for me and the Silver Hawks Hawk Squad in the community! My great friends and I will be visiting a variety of locations this season to promote all the fun events we have scheduled at The Cove.

Don't forget... Tonight is Twofer Tuesday. GET TWO TICKETS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. Log onto the WAOR website to receive this special promotion. http://www.waor.com/ Look forward to seeing you!

Go Hawks!

Off to a Great Start!

Hey Silver Hawks Fans!

We are off to a great start this season! The team is currently 9-12 and is starting a four game homestand against the West Michigan Whitecaps tonight at 6:30pm. Help cheer on your South Bend Silver Hawks to a victory tonight at The Cove!

We have had some great promotions that the last few weeks at The Cove. We introduced our Community Partnerships Program and celebrated exceeding 1,000 Community Service Hours this season. Last Tuesday, we invited all our community partners to the game to promote how Silver Hawks fans can lend a helping hand in the community. It was a great communitywide event and we look forward to our partners getting more involved as the season continues!

The staff and yours truly had a great time dressing up and acting silly for Halfway to Halloween last Wednesday! It was great to see everyone in costume and having a good time. We had many gory mummies and zombies, but my favorite costume was the zombie pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean. HE ACTUALLY HAD SEA SHELLS STUCK TO HIS FACE! He was the winner of the adult division of the costume contest and won 2 free round trip tickets courtesy of Allegiant Air. There will be more opportunities this season to dress up and act crazy so stay tuned!!

Tonight's weather is supposed to BEAUTIFUL! So head on down to the Coveleski Stadium tonight for great action on the field and fun entertainment! We are celebrating Arbor Day at The Cove and every fan will receive a tree sapling courtesy of American Tree Care. See you at The Cove!

Go Hawks!
