Anyone coming down should get a schedule of the events and seminars and try to plan their day.

Mostly we try to stay in the Fremont area for our events and picnics and participating in the John C. Fremont Days parade.

On beam it was hard to concentrate. It didn't take affect on other events, but it was hard to concentrate because the cheering was so loud.

We're going all over the place, and we plan on coming back to Illinois.

What the schedule says is what you have to do. You have to deal with it. Coming out of spring training to play 17 days in a row is a little demanding on your pitching staff, but we've gotten through it.

It's more than just a game. It's five days of events, some of which extend beyond the ballpark. People who can't get to the festivities will be able to actually see the players and their wives parading on a red carpet like they were arriving at the Oscars. We're going to showcase the city. We're going to decorate it in ways never seen before.
