MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee head baseball coach Steve Peterson has announced the annual Grand Slam Fish Fry fundraiser will take place on Monday, October 20, at 6 p.m. at the Tennessee Livestock Center on the Middle Tennessee campus.
As always, the event will feature country whole fried catfish with all the trimmings prepared by Shelbyville's own "Big Hoss" Cartwright; authentic cajun gumbo by our Louisiana transplant, Blue Raider legend John Stanford; as well as hot dogs for the kids.
"We fried over 600 pounds of catfish and 50 gallons of gumbo last year," head coach Steve Peterson said.
Russ & Becky Jeffers Country Band from Jack Daniels Distillery will be on hand for the evening's entertainment.
"The Fish Fry is one of our biggest events of the year, an annual event we've been hosting since 1984. It's a great way to socialize with everyone and raise money for the baseball program. It's great food, fun and entertainment, and certainly an event you don't want to miss," Peterson said.
Tickets are $20. Children six and under are admitted free of charge.
Tickets are available at the Middle Tennessee Ticket Office located at Gate 1A of Floyd Stadium and through the Middle Tennessee BRAA office.
Patrons wishing to pay by mail can make checks payable to Middle Tennessee Baseball Fish Fry and can send their payment to Steve Peterson, MTSU Box 90, Murfreesboro, TN, 37132. For more information, please call 615/898-2450. Proceeds from the Grand Slam Fish Fry benefit the Blue Raider baseball program.
