Darien Cornfest is pleased to announce that we have 24 teams already signed up for this years tournament. And if you have umpiring experience….
From the Baseball Head Honcho Greg:
[intense_content_box shadow=”10″ width=”100%”][/intense_content_box]As of this morning we have a confirmed 24 teams for the softball Tournament.
In years past we were lucky to get this many this early. I am working to get a full 32 teams and with 2+ weeks to go I am very optimistic we will get 32.If we get all 32 teams I will need to run games longer Saturday night because teams can’t play on Friday. Generally my umps do not work past the 5:00 game. So I will be looking for a few people to help / volunteer ump for at least 2 games (5:50, 6:40 and possibly a 7:30).
So if you “Got Game”, or you’d like to “Ump” a game get in touch with Greg.
[intense_content_box title=”Contact” shadow=”10″ width=”100%”]You can email your completed entry form to Greg at gregnichols [at] sbcglobal.net, or you can call him at 262-215-2811 [/intense_content_box][/text_output]That’s our theme for the 2015 Darien Cornfest. And here’s is the new logo. Here’s hoping you don’t find it too CORNY….
We are very please to announce Green Bay Packers Legend Leroy Butler will back at the 2015 Cornfest. Mr. Butler will be signing autographs and taking pictures on Saturday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
For you Bears fans, here’s a bit of history on Leroy Butler.
Butler was selected by the Packers in the second round of the 1990 NFL draft. He played in 181 games, earned a Super Bowl ring, for Super Bowl XXXI, following the 1996 season, was selected as an All-Pro five times and was selected to the Pro Bowl four times (1993, 1996, 1997, and 1998). He was named to the 1990s NFL All Decade Team, by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and was later inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, in 2007.
During his 12 seasons with the Packers, he recorded 953 tackles, 38 interceptions, 553 return yards, 12 fumble recoveries, 3 defensive touchdowns and 20½ sacks. He led or tied for the team lead in interceptions in five different seasons. He was the first defensive back in NFL history to gain entrance in the 20 Sack/20 Interception Club.
Butler is credited with inventing the Lambeau Leap!
