OTA Family Fun Night at the Springfield Cardinals

We had a great turnout on August 1st for the annual Ozark Turf Association Family Fun Night sponsored by Syngenta at the Springfield Cardinals game, the AA farm team of the St. Louis Cardinals.  It was great to see so many families able to get together as we hope summer winds down and before the kids head back to school.  This was the largest presence so far of OTA kids attending.

We occupied the Homeplate party deck where a buffet of hot dogs, brats and chicken fingers were served along items to make nachos, with cookies for dessert.  Beverages included soft drinks, water, and adult beverages. 

Despite the Cardinals losing 7-1 a good time was had by all as families caught up with happenings since families last got together for our Christmas party last year.   We finished the evening watching Friday Night Fireworks. 

Thanks again to Syngenta and Conrad Pannkuk, our Syngenta representative.  2026 Cardinals schedules have been released, we hope to start planning for next year’s event soon,
