Exciting Weekend Adventures: Growlin Chickens & Baseball in Northwest Arkansas!

This Friday and Saturday, promises to be a night filled with excitement, laughter, and plenty of reasons to cheer at Arvest Ballpark. The Northwest Arkansas Naturals return to the field to face off against the Midland RockHounds, and they’re bringing some extra fun as they take on their quirky alter-ego, the Growlin’ Chickens!

On Saturday, July 12th the gates open at 4:30 p.m., and the early birds will catch more than just the game. The first 1,250 fans through the gates will receive a Poultry Derby Hen Figurine, courtesy of Unify Financial Credit Union. This collectible is sure to be the talk of the town and a must-have keepsake, so make sure to arrive early and secure yours.

The game itself starts at 6:05 p.m., but it’s not just about baseball and Growlin' Chickens. 40/29 Sunrise Anchor Phil Reed will add a special flair to the evening, stepping up to throw the first pitch. Show your support and cheer him on as he gets the night rolling!

Don’t forget to visit the Team Store to snag some exclusive Growlin’ Chickens merchandise. With brand-new jerseys, caps, T-shirts, and more, you can gear up and proudly sport your Growlin’ spirit.

So, come out this Friday or Saturday to celebrate the best of summer with baseball, hilarious mascots, community fun, and a little poultry-inspired flair. We will see you at the ballpark, and remember: #LetsGrowl!
