FRIDAY BBQ + BASEBALL! - 7/17/09

Hello Family!

Very exciting news. Instead of a sit-down rehearsal dinner, we decided BBQ & Baseball would be way better. The BBQ meet & greet will be held at Emerson Park: Pavilion E, starting at 4:30pm on Friday afternoon! Jim & Sue Kelly will be hosting the Friday Action, so please be sure to introduce yourself, and say howdy.

HOW DO WE GET THERE?

You can walk from the H Hotel to Emerson Park! How convenient! The H Hotel is on Main Street at Ashman, and if you follow Ashman St. down towards the Tridge, you will find the Pere Marquette rail-trail trailhead, which you can follow to you Emerson Park. The auto entrance to Emerson Park is at W Main St and Orchard Dr, and if you Mapquest or Google Map it, you will get a sense of the proximity.

Come meet the other half of the wedding party, catch up with the folks you know, eat some deeeeelicious food, and have a few libations before we all stroll over to...

BASEBALL & FIREWORKS!
The Great Lakes Loons Stadium for the 7:05 baseball game vs. Wisconsin! We will be able to walk from the Emerson Park Pavilion on a path directly to the Stadium. Lawn tickets have already been purchased in a block by Jim and Sue Kelly for the Wedding Guests. We can all wander over with our full bellies together, or you can meet us at the game! Just tell the box office you are with the Kelly/Swinehart Wedding Party - tickets are in Jim Kelly's name. We'll have some blankets and low chairs, or you can bring your own.

Who will Karl root for? The LA Dodgers seed team (the Loons) or his college home state team? Only time will tell! Sean and I are going to have a hard time rooting for a Dodgers (booo) farm team, but we'll do our best.



Fireworks! One of my all time favorite summer things (well, anytime, actually) & the Great Lakes Loons are putting on a show at the end of the game. What luck! I suspect Grandpa Markeson would approve...
