There is more than one reason to
have a group event here at the Volcanoes. Any business that relies on
having a healthy relationship with its clients should never forget this
way of keeping in touch. Where else do you have a chance to spend 2-3
hours with a potential customer in a relaxed atmosphere? How else can you
revisit clients that you need to touch base with again and let them know
that they are important to you? Group/BBQ's at the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes
provide a place to have awards dinners, Atta boys and just plain thanks.
Use the time here as a business tool to close deals and prospect, it's
done the world over at sporting events. Let us
make your business outing a success!
Over the years there have been
church picnics, fraternal organizations, little leagues, family reunions,
company outings and just groups of friends, all who want to have a good
clean family friendly place to have fun. The Volcanoes pride themselves on
having a place that provides a safe place for kids, a place for adult fun
and a venue for making life long friends.
My fondest memories of my father
are; playing catch in the street and trips to see the Louisville Colonels
play. Memories are made here at the Volcanoes; don't miss out on a chance
to make your time here a lifelong memory. You may not be a baseball fan
but someone in you family or business or a client is. Bring them to a
Group/BBQ at the Volcanoes and help them make memories.
The price of a Group/BBQ that is
typically purchased here is less expensive than a first run movie with
large pop and popcorn. Everyone in a reserved seat group of 25 fans or
more gets a free souvenir baseball, can have an all you can eat BBQ,
select adult beverages for a dollar during the BBQ and enjoy minor league
baseball. A night at a Volcanoes game can include; a two hour concert,
fireworks, sports cars, military equipment and lots of interesting
displays for kids and adults. If you want food after your BBQ we have; an
Asian stand, Mexican stand, Healthy stand, popcorn, peanuts, Cracker Jack,
sno-cones almost anything you have ever thought of eating at a ballpark.
Minor league baseball is major league fun!!
