December 15, 2005 - PEORIA, IL-The Chicago Cubs and Peoria Chiefs have announced that the Cubs Caravan is returning to Peoria on Thursday, January 12, 2006 at the RiverPlex and will again be highlighted by Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg.
Sandberg appeared at the Caravan in 2005 and returns along with Cubs General Manager Jim Hendry, Director of Player Development Oneri Fleita, pitchers Rich Hill, Bob Howry and Michael Wuertz, catcher Michael Barrett, radio announcer Pat Hughes and third base coach Chris Speier. Also joining the Cubs personnel for this leg of the Caravan is Chiefs pitcher Sean Gallagher who was selected to the 2005 Midwest League Mid-Season and Post-Season All-Star teams and named the Cubs Minor League Pitcher of the Year.
The event at the RiverPlex will begin at 5:45 PM with doors opening at 4:30 PM. All Cubs personnel will sign ONLY 200 autographs each. Each person attending the Caravan will be given a lottery ticket, chosen at random, entering the facility. This ticket will indicate the line they should enter to receive an autograph. This policy has been set by the Chicago Cubs and will be strictly enforced.
Following the 45-minute autograph session, the program will begin promptly at 6:30 PM. The program will include a question and answer segment with the Cubs players and front office members, videos highlighting the Cubs and Chiefs 2005 seasons, ticket information for the Cubs and Chiefs, information on the Cubs and Chiefs Booster Clubs and a dinner. Tickets are available at O’Brien Field, Bergners locations at Sheridan Village and Pekin, Sports Corner in Peoria Heights, Brunk’s Sports Center in Washington, Bartonville Bank, and Morton Community Bank for $15.00 each. No tickets will be sold at the door. All proceeds from the event go to the Cubs Boosters benefiting local Little League programs. Hot dogs, chips, beer and soda will be served at the RiverPlex.
Parking for the event at the RiverPlex will be limited. Event goers are encouraged to use the A2 CAT lot located on the corner of Hamilton and Water after 5:00 PM or the Riverfront parking lots. The Chiefs will provide shuttle transportation to and from the parking lot to the RiverPlex.
