We're less than a week away from the annual Batavia Muckdogs Hot Stove Dinner hosted by the Genesee County Baseball Club.
Above, Travis Sick, general manager, with Diane Hawn and Russ Salway, hold a few of the items that will be up for auction at the dinner.
The dinner is from 4:30 to 8 p.m., Saturday, at the Sacred Heart Church Hall, 17 Sumner St., Batavia.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under.
The evening will begin with a cocktail hour followed by a buffet dinner at 5:30.
The night also features live and chance auctions of baseball-related memorabilia (including signed bats and balls), work by local artists, and gift certificates from a variety of local businesses.
Tickets may be purchased in Batavia at Dwyer Stadium, Gerace’s Hair Care, the Williams Law Firm and the office of Dr. Alan Barcomb.
Is the cocktail hour an open
Is the cocktail hour an open bar? I could really get my money's worth if it is an open bar because sometimes buffets are not all that great. Especially fundraisers where you have to stand in line with a lot of slow moving people who aren't really that hungry and can't make up their minds.
