Columbia Blowfish Baseball Organization Extends Invitation

The Columbia Blowfish Baseball organization would like to extend an invitation to our World War II Veterans to be their special guests at the ball game on Saturday, July 4. Game time is 7:05 pm and the Blowfish will play the Asheboro Copperheads. The gates will open at 6:00 pm. There will be a patriotic fireworks show following the game.

They plan to reserve a section under the Canopy awning and also have a wheelchair area on the first base side and the third base side.

The Blowfish would like to provide 2 tickets to each WWII Veteran so please bring your guest. Their website is www.blowfishbaseball.com.

If you and your guest would like to attend, please call me at 822-5020 or you can email l.douglas@columbiaairport.com and let me know so we can advise the Blowfish how many tickets to reserve. Please let me know by Monday, June 29th. If I’m not in when you call, please leave me a message with your name and if you’ll need 1 or 2 tickets. You’ll then pick up your tickets when you arrive at the ballpark the day of the game.
