Illinois and Missouri 4-H members, parents, volunteers and alumni will gather at Busch Stadium on Saturday, May 17, 2008, for the seventh annual 4-H Day With the Cardinals. The Cardinals will be playing the Tampa Bay Rays in a 12.10 p.m. game. Tickets for the game will be $21.00 each, which includes a specially designed t-shirt featuring the 4-H Clover on the back and the Cardinals emblem on the front. In addition, May 17 is Kid’s Plate Day at the ballpark, so all fans 15 and younger will receive a 10” dinner plate featuring Albert Pujols.

4-H members, leaders, alumni, and their families who purchase 4-H Day With the Cardinals tickets will have the opportunity to participate in a parade around the Busch Stadium outfield. Families can also take part in a scholarship raffle for great prizes including the chance to throw out the first pitch, autographed baseballs, and tickets to Cardinals baseball games provided by the St. Louis Cardinals. Pre-game ceremonies will include a recitation of the 4-H pledge and ceremonial first pitches by an Illinois and Missouri 4-H member.

Tickets for the event must be ordered on the 4-H Day With the Cardinals order form. Ticket orders must be postmarked by April 7, 2008. Please note that we have a limited number of tickets, and tickets have sold out before the order deadline the past two years, so families are encouraged to order early. 4-H Clubs, counties, or groups of families who would like to be seated together must send their orders in the same envelope.

Families can also donate to the 4-H Day With the Cardinals scholarship fund. Those who donate to the scholarship fund will have the opportunity to win great prizes. Complete information about 4-H Day With the Cardinals scholarships is on the ticket order form.
