Irish Night With Rock Cats

Come share in the fun on Saturday, July 9 when the New Britain Rock Cats (Minnesota Twins) play the Binghamton Mets (New York Mets) at New Britain Stadium, 230 John Karbonic Way.  Gates open at 5:30 pm & the game will begin at 7:05 pm. The evening will help raise funds for the 2012 Greater New Haven St. Patrick’s Parade as part of Irish American Heritage Night. 

Pre-game festivities will include entertainment by the band, “The Rising,” and Irish step dancers. Several members of the New Haven Gaelic Football and Hurling Club will be honored at a special pre-game ceremony.  The first 1,500 fans through the gate will receive a giveaway of green hats!

The first pitch will be thrown out by the 2012 parade Grand Marshal, Kevin A. Smith. This is a fun, family friendly event. Tickets are only $5 and must be purchased through a Parade Committee member in order to benefit the Parade – contact Tim Gallogly at 203-314-3484 or by email at tgallogly@cccymca.org.  Visit the parade website at www.stpatricksdayparade.org
