February 23, 2011
(WHITAKER BANK BALLPARK, Lexington, Ky.) Baseball tickets, great food, fun for kids and shaved heads will be part of the Lexington Legends annual Fan Fest Saturday, March 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Whitaker Bank Ballpark.

Fan Fest marks the first day that tickets to individual games will be on sale. In addition, those who have purchased season ticket packages may pick up their tickets. There will be free tours of the ballpark, including the players' clubhouse, along with a visit from the Legends' "Big L," and fun activities for children. The Legends Clubhouse merchandise store will be open.

Individual game tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. at the Whitaker Bank Ballpark box office, by phone at 859 422-7867 or online at www.lexingtonlegends.com.

The Legends have partnered with Chick-fil-A, Penn Station, Repicci's Italian Ice and Waffle House and will offer free food to anyone who buys individual game tickets at the box office windows or picks up their 2011 season ticket package. A free nacho bar will be offered, and Pepsi, cold beer, and mixed drinks will be available for purchase.

The Legends also are teaming with St. Baldrick's Foundation to fight cancer in children. Hair stylists from Bak 4 More Studio will be at the ballpark to shave heads and raise funds for St. Baldrick's, which supports children's cancer research. For more information about St. Baldrick's, contact Lauren Shrader at 859 422-7854 or [email protected].

"Fan Fest is the best sign yet that baseball season is just around the corner," said Legends General Manager Andy Shea. "It's a great occasion for Legends fans, and this year, we're happy to work with St. Baldrick's Foundation to raise money for the fight against children's cancer. The head-shaving at Fan Fest will add to the fun, and it's for a great cause."
