Put your boots on...it's time to play ball!

2009 Junior Cattle Baron's Ball

Thanks to the Springfield Cardinals, Peterbilt of Springfield and the Larson group, local children that have battled cancer and their families were given VIP treatment at the ballpark last Thursday, August 6, at the Junior Cattle Baron's Ball.

Before the game everyone got to enjoy ball park snacks and drinks, win prizes, paint their faces, milk a cow, help paint a commemorative mural with local artist Susan Sommer-Luarca and design plates to be auctioned off at the Cattle Baron's Ball on Saturday, August 22. The Springfield Cardinals players and mascots, Louie and Fetch, stopped by to meet the kids too!

Junior Cattle Baron's Ball guests got to parade around the field before the game, watch the game from one of the Springfield Cardinals suites and one lucky winner even got to throw the first pitch!
