A press release today gives official details on the SPECTATOR PLAZA PRESENTED BY GEICO that is going to be set up at the Fairgrounds on Half Street during the hours leading up to the
NHL Winter Classic® at
Nats Park on Thursday, Jan. 1.
From 9 am until 1 pm, the Fairgrounds "will transform into a hockey and entertainment festival" with "live musical performances, interactive hockey-themed attractions, prizes and giveaways, food and beverages and retail tents with an extensive selection of of officially licensed 2015 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic® merchandise and collectibles."
The event's sponsors are definitely pulling out all stops for the Fairgrounds offerings. I started to include the highlights, but I got worn out at the length and breadth--so
read the press release to find out what is being offered by Bridgestone, GEICO, Reebok-CCM, Oscar Mayer, Honda, Enterprise, McDonald's, Miller-Coors, York Heating and Air Conditioning, Ticketmaster, AMP, and various other NHL-related offerings.
It's all free and open to the public. And then there's the game itself, between the Caps and the Blackhawks, at 1 pm.
