Sioux Falls Canaries News Release
(Sioux Falls, SD) – Mary Hart is coming to the Birdcage! The Canaries are honoring Famous South Dakotan Mary Hart with her very own Bobblehead on Saturday, June 4th - and Mary will be here in person to take part in the festivities.
The Sioux Falls native and Augustana College graduate will be the first of the Famous South Dakotan Bobbleheads to be given away at the Birdcage in 2005. Hart, host of Entertainment Tonight, was one of the top Famous South Dakotans on a Canaries website pole over the winter.
“We had a tremendous response to the pole,” Canaries GM John Kuhn said. “Mary received a good portion of the votes and it was clear our fans wanted to honor her.”
Hart is scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and sing the national anthem prior to the game. Fans who attend the game will also have a chance to be on national television as Entertainment Tonight will be doing a piece on the evening.
“We are very excited that Mary will be a part of the night,” Canaries director of fun Dan Christopherson said. “Mayor Dave Munson is proclaiming it “Mary Hart Day” in Sioux Falls and we are going to have a blast out here.”
The Bobbleheads will be given away to 1,000 random fans. Each fan will receive a colored wristband, and the winning colors will be drawn throughout the game.
Pre-game festivities include the Roosevelt High School Marching Band, jugglers, clowns, and much more. Tickets can be ordered by calling the Canaries office at 605.333.0179 or online at www.canariesbaseball.com.
