Opening Ceremonies
The Ceremonies will begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, September 1, 2010.

GFI Bingo.
Free Bingo has been a popular feature in the past so why change a good thing. This year’s Bingo is sponsored by local merchants that have donated prizes to be given away after each Bingo game.

Souvenirs
The 2010 GFI will see a new line of souvenirs highlighting our cool new logo. Check them out behind the dugout on the 1st baseline. Don’t forget to purchase your souvenirs as a great memento of the GFI and Grand Forks, BC.

Exciting Activities for the Kids
Once again Pharmasave presents the Kids Run the Bases competition. This has been a real hit in the past and we are confident it will be again. Kids aged 6-12 will have an opportunity to be on the field running the bases for outstanding prizes. Enter at Grand Forks Pharmasave. Also the children can enter the Baseball Buddies program. Realize a dream and be one of the “players” who will appear on the field with one of the GFI teams. You don’t have to run or hit, but you will catch a memory of a lifetime. Enter the Baseball Buddies promotion at Grand Forks Pharmasave.

Family Friendly Zone
A special area behind the right field will be designated the Family Friendly Zone – FFZ – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between 12pm and 6pm and again on Monday from 10am to 3pm. This area will be hosted by Success By 6, the Boundary Family Centre Network, and Grand Forks Credit Union. Parents can enjoy the games and be near their children while the wee ones are playing and have access to craft supplies and toys. Signs will direct you to this special area inside the stadium. And watch for the Success By 6 25¢ Fish Pond and other special prize draws. All proceeds go to local children and families.
*Please note: This is not a childminding service. Caregivers need to remain in the FFZ while their children are in the space.

Guest Relations
Just inside the main gate you will find the Guest Relations Booth. There, GFI personnel will help you with your questions and have information available. Programs, Bingo Cards, lost articles and more are available here. Our volunteers are committed to serving you and making your visit to the GFI as enjoyable as possible.

First Aid Station
There is an on-site First Aid Station managed by trained and efficient first aid people. From morning till night they are on duty and you will be in good hands whether it is a wasp sting, an injury or too much sun. The First Aid Station is located in the blue building.

50/50 Draws
The GFI is famous for large 50/50 jackpots, some even topping the $1,000.00 mark. Look for our 50/50 volunteer ticket sellers throughout the tournament. Proceeds from our 50/50 draw during the Exhibition Game will go towards our ALS fundraiser.

Per Game Admission
It is important to be aware of the per game admission procedure. Whenever you enter the ball park you will be charged for the remaining games that day. However, when you leave the stadium you will receive a refund for any games that you did not stay for. This refund is available whether you paid cash or by credit/debit card. Children ages 5 and under are admitted free. Reserved seats and Tournament passes, including seniors and family passes, are available and they are well worth the price for the convenience they offer.

Food Concession
Humphrey Bogart said, “A hot dog at the ball park is like a steak at the Ritz.” What about food at the GFI? We think the menu selection and quality is very good. As well as the franks, you may enjoy burgers, chicken strips, beef on a bun, vegetarian subs, fruit salad, yogurt and other items. The main concession is located under the grandstand and a smaller concession, where you will find popcorn and ice-cream, is located in the blue building.

THANKS TO EVERYONE
Without the commitment of the community the Grand Forks International would not be possible. It takes a lot of hard work by many dedicated individuals - the VOLUNTEERS - to make the GFI a reality. With over 300 volunteers we are able to showcase the community at its best. Everyone’s contribution is extremely valuable.

The GFI lives and breathes through the volunteers.
In addition to our volunteers, we have been very fortunate to once again
secure sponsors to help us work towards an exciting 2010 tournament.

Hat’s off to all our volunteers, sponsors and fans. Together we make the GFI team.
Joan Thomas, Coordinator
