Saturday is the day many look forward to during the Conner Classic. Not only will it be a great day of baseball, but the day will be capped off by our tailgate party and skills competition.
The party gets underway at 5pm with the music of the band The Shades. The group performs rock and roll hits for the adults and the pop that the kids will know and sing along to. The concert wraps up at 6:30pm when we move into the skills competition for the 23 teams entered in the tournament.
You may have participated in other skills competitions, but you NEVER have done a skills challenge KA style before. Our tournament directors banter back and forth with plenty of antics and dancing along with music the entire challenge.
The challenge features the Around the Horn (four players, throw from home to first, first to second, second to third, third to home, home to third, third to second, second to first, first to home in a timed event); the Relay Race, the Accuracy Thow (from center field) and the ever-popular Home Run Derby.
Its sure to be a fun night had by all.
