Calling all Little Leaguers!

Bring your Little Leaguers to an event that is sure to be a home run for everyone in your family at the Springfield Art Association! Tomorrow, August 4, from 4 to 8pm, the SAA will open its studio doors to host a night of arts and crafts, to celebrate the “Play Ball” Exhibition (through August 21). This invitational is a first, but a sure hit of hands-on art activities for the family to enjoy together. You can even meet former MLB White Sox player Ron Kittle, as well as local player Jon Knoeldner, who will be here to sign autographs! Make your own baseball card, stitch a foam mitt; even paint with baseballs! Try your hand at carnival games and check out the wonderful line-up of art in the show while listening to music that’s sure to remind you of yesteryear’s trips to the ballpark!

Activities will be guided by Springfield Art Association faculty, staff and volunteers. Refreshments will be served and all children must be accompanied by an adult. No reservations are necessary. All activities held at the SAA campus, located at 700 N. Fourth Street in Springfield.

Bring the whole family and enjoy this triple play of art, fun and baseball at the SAA Park—what’s more, every Little Leaguer dressed in uniform will get a free hot dog! For additional information contact Katie Rasmussen, Education Coordinator, at 523-2631, or by e-mail: education@springfieldart.org.
