In December, Rent One Park announced the five finalists for the new name of the Prospect baseball team that will call the stadium in Marion home next year. After much debate and over 7,000 votes, the anticipation will come to an end.

The announcement is Thursday night at a huge, community party at the park. “The Big Reveal Party” is FREE to the public and everyone is invited. The first 1,000 visitors through the Rent One Park gates receive a FREE ticket to the new team’s Inaugural Home Opening Game. Those in attendance will be treated to free popcorn and soft drinks. Gates open at 5:30 PM with the big announcement occurring at 6:30.

The buzz about the event began last week when the organization revealed a new website and 60-second film, which is available for viewing at www.ThereAreOthers.net
