Cincinnati Reds...

One of the perks of being the Mayor is the invitation to do things you might not otherwise do. Last week Toyota called Claude and asked if he and I might be interested it going to a Cincinnati Reds game.  Toyota has a box from which we would be viewing the game.  It was Thursday, May 15th at 12:30pm.  Claude checked the calendar and we were available at that time. Yippee!!  

It has been a long time since we went to a major league baseball game.  When living in Maryland, we would go every now and then with Jacob.  He loved baseball.  Claude and he loved for me to go with them and I could be a runner for food from the concession stands.  Once, I was yelling and cheering so loudly, they actually moved a few rows back. Silly boys!

Mayor Varney and Nancy, Judge Lusby and Barbara were also invited to attend.  Kim Menke and two others from Toyota were there.  

It was a cloudy, cold day so having the box to retire to so we could warm up was wonderful.  There were three rows of outside seating.  Even with the cold, Claude and I spent most of our time out there enjoying the game and the fresh air.

We enjoyed hot dogs, chips and dip, and pizza provided by Toyota.

Cincinnati won that game.  There would be another game in the evening and Cincinnati lost to San Diego in that game.

It was a great way to spend the afternoon.  Love the atmosphere at a baseball game. Thanks Toyota for thinking of us!
