Join in on Toledo history as the city will kick-off it's first ever Triple-A Baseball All-Star event with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the main entrance of Fan Fest
located within the SeaGate Convention Centre. This will be your chance to mingle with local dignitaries and celebrities as you will be the first to enjoy all the
exhilaration that Fan Fest has to offer. Still looking for some excitement, head on over to Fifth Third Field for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the "Best
Ballpark in the Minors!"
The All-Star Auction will take place during the Triple-A Baseball All-Star Fan Fest. There will be a silent auction that will take place throughout the days of Fan
Fest and will include various baseball-related memorabilia such as autographed jerseys, baseballs and much more. Bidding will conclude on the final day of Fan Fest.
All proceeds will benefit the Helping Hens Fund, the charitable foundation of the Toledo Mud Hens. Helping Hens focuses on bringing underprivileged children to Mud
Hens baseball games as well as providing financial support to local children's charities.
