⚾️ ⚽️🎾 🏀 GIVEAWAY TIME! 🏀🎾⚽️⚾️

Family Friendly Asheville has been gifted 3 days of Summer Camp (each!), to give away to 2 LUCKY winners, at Playball Asheville! “Playball camp is where kids go to have a BALL! Each half-day is loaded with high energy games and teamwork activities derived from 8 major sports. Coaches introduce the children to a wide variety of movement and skills in 3 main areas; locomotion, stability, and manipulation of equipment. They gain physical, social, and emotional strengths through positive coaching in an encouraging environment. We exercise our right brains as well by doing a sporty craft each day. Nature and music are also important components of our day. There is a playground, classrooms, indoor recreation hall, full kitchen, grassy play ball space, and blacktop to practice all of those sporty skills.”

Playball Asheville Camp is a Co-Ed program for boys and girls aged 3-6 years, held this year at Oakley United Methodist Church in Fairview. Camp will be held half days (9am-1pm) Daily/Weekly, Monday through Friday, June 24 though August 16th, and the winner can choose the days/weeks they attend, and can choose to use the days one at a time, or consecutively.

NATIONAL DONUT/DOUGHNUT DAY 2019 – DEALS

HAPPY NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY!

National Doughnut / Donut Day started in 1938 as a fundraiser for Chicago’s Salvation Army, with the goal of helping those in need during the Great Depression, and to honor The Salvation Army “Lassies” of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers. The holiday celebrates the doughnut, and many doughnut stores in America offer free doughnuts to customers. This year, National Donut / Doughnut Day is June 7th, and we’ve “rounded” up all the local Asheville area deals for you, to help you celebrate!

NEW PARKING PLAN!

*Important* Parking Changes for the 2019 Season:

Beginning this season, the City of Asheville has implemented a new parking plan for all events at Memorial Stadium and McCormick Field. This plan consists of significant changes from past seasons. Please make note of these changes and plan accordingly as you make your way to the stadium.

THE BEST TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS FOR ACSC GAMES ARE:
1) Utilize ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft. Drop-off/pick-up location at McCormick Place is labeled on map below.
2) Utilize downtown parking garages. The nearest garage is adjacent to the Aloft Hotel on Biltmore Avenue and is an easy walk to the stadium. The city’s parking app can be utilized for realtime parking information.

*No parking will be allowed in the Mountainside Park area north of the stadium. In addition, there will be no access to this area via Edgehill Ave. There will be staff in place at Edgehill Ave preventing event traffic access.

*Parking in the Stadium Lot and McCormick Lot is very limited. Handicap parking is available nearest the stadium entrance. Please show your hangtags to staff at Buchanan Place for access. Parking in the grass area at Buchanan Place has been significantly reduced.

*No event parking will be allowed in the neighborhoods surrounding the stadium. Staff will be in place at each of the red indicators shown below preventing any event access beyond the points indicated.

Seeds & Sprouts Consignment Sale FACEBOOK GIVEAWAY CONTEST

GIVEAWAY TIME!

We have been gifted 2 Platinum presale tickets ($40/ea) to shop ahead of the public, PLUS $25 gift cards to use toward purchases, to give away to 2 LUCKY WINNERS (1 pass & 1 gift card EACH), to the Seeds and Sprouts Kids Consignment Sale at the Xcel Sportsplex in Fletcher, NC. These Platinum presale tickets provide you with 1:00pm access to the March 12th presale.

SASK is a high-quality, best-value, bi-annual kids consignment event, and its consignors are proud to not only provide affordable kids clothing, toys, and gear for purchase by local families, but also to support the WNC foster care community through donations at the conclusion of the event during a special Foster Family Free Shop. Their goal in launching this incredible community event was to build a true community of consignors, shoppers, and team members who love the thrill of consignment and also rally behind the WNC foster care community. Seeds and Sprouts Kids had its first event in April 2018 with a strong community response that has led to the sale more than doubling in size in just four events. Their Spring/Summer event from March 13th-15th, 2020, will undoubtedly be the largest yet with consignors, shoppers, and team members traveling in from across the WNC area, eager to participate again and see how much it’s grown since the Fall.
