The PFD
is cooperating with
Kitsap County and the
Kitsap Peninsula Visitor
and Convention Bureau (VCB)
in a new tourism
enhancement effort
called the Kitsap
Peninsula Facilities and
Event Coalition. Check
out more information
about the
KPFEC on the
Happening page.
The
intent of the
coalition is
to more effectively
capitalize on the
tourism opportunities
and events in the
future, through improved
communication and
cooperation between the
owner/operators of the
various facility and
event destinations on
the peninsula.
Babe Ruth
2012 World Series in
Kitsap is only three
months away!
On May 18th 2011, the
contract was signed
between the North Kitsap
Babe Ruth organization
and the Babe Ruth
League, Inc. for the
2012 13-year old World
Series to be held here
in Kitsap County. The
week-long World Series
will be played at Loeb Field complex at
the Kitsap Fairgrounds
and Event Center,
ball fields improved over
the years to tournament
level quality facilities
with both PFD and County
funds.
This is the kind of
event and its
corresponding economic
impact, estimated to be
perhaps in excess of $1
million, that the use of
public funding for
building or improving
recreation and sports
facilities was supposed
to achieve.
The local chambers are
cooperating to provide a
great souvenir for all
the players - an AXE bat
& equipment bag with the
2012 WS logo; Louisville
Slugger bat; autographed
Babe Ruth WS ball; and a
WS tee-shirt. Local
businesses are
encouraged to sponsor
one of the bags for $150
- half the retail value!
Get in touch with your
local chamber to sign
up.
We are proud of the
Kitsap County Parks Dept
for keeping Field 1 in
great tournament quality
shape and are proud of
the North Kitsap Babe
Ruth for following
through with their
application and winning
the 2012 World Series
for Kitsap.
More info here.
The World Series will be
played in August of
2012, in the week prior
to the County Fair,
finishing with the
Championship game on the
evening of the first
Fair day, August 22nd.
This will be online
nationally, so we hope that
Kitsap County will come
out and support this
great event. Look for
lots of other activities
leading up to this
momentous occasion.
