That's right Blazer Nation!! The pre-season is just beginning and I couldn't be any more excited!! October 4th, 2009 marks the beginning with Fan Fest (as taken from the Blazer official site) :
Free tickets now available at area Wells Fargo stores
Fans will have their first opportunity to catch the 2009-10 Portland Trail Blazers in action when the team continues its popular annual preseason tradition – the Wells Fargo Fan Fest – on Sunday, Oct. 4, at the Rose Garden. Doors open at 5 p.m.
An intra-squad scrimmage will headline the event, tipping off around 6 p.m., giving fans an opportunity to see the team in action before the preseason officially begins on October 6 vs. Sacramento. Fans will have a chance to meet players as they pass through the turnstiles, and get to know the 2009-10 Trail Blazers during an informal on-court q&a session hosted by Mike Barrett shortly after doors open.
The event will also give fans a chance to see the new-look BlazerDancers perform, and will include prize giveaways from Blaze the Trail Cat and the Stunt Team. All regular-priced merchandise at the Fan Shop will be 15 percent off.
Wells Fargo and the Trail Blazers are continuing their strong commitment of supporting the community, and have invited local non-profit partners benefiting youth to be a part of Fan Fest. Participating groups will have booths set up throughout the 100-level concourse with information about their respective organizations to share with fans.
Free tickets and family passes for the Wells Fargo Fan Fest are available at all Wells Fargo stores in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Fans will also be admitted if they show any Wells Fargo check/credit card at Rose Garden entrances. Parking is free, subject to availability.
I myself have never been able to make it to fan fest (i know crazy!) but that's changing this year! I'm so excited to be at this event celebrating and supporting our team right before they kick off the pre-season with their game vs. Sacramento! Not to mention how excited I am to get the chance to meet one of the players at the entrance! You can count on me taking LOTS of pictures and LOTS of video!
If YOU'RE going to fan fest, be sure to share your pictures and video!
