PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pa., Saturday, Aug. 18, 2007 - Three
nights during the baseball season, the Pittsburgh Pirates have their
annual Skyblast evenings. The evening includes the baseball game
with a live band and the largest fireworks display in Pittsburgh.
Lincoln Chapter Order of DeMolay, sponsored by Verona
Lodge No. 548 and Plumcreek-Monroeville Lodge No. 799,
Pittsburgh, hosted their annual tailgate cookout in a parking
lot near the baseball park. The chapter sold 200 tickets to their
members, families, friends, other DeMolay chapters and members
from the local Masonic lodges. The day included an all-you-caneat
dinner. Each participant also received a patriotic backpack
souvenir and could bid on silent auction items. The day started off
by the chapter organizing and preparing for the cookout, arriving
at 3 p.m., when the parking lots open to secure a cookout location
and setting up to entertain their guests. Food, fellowship and fun
from 5 p.m. until 6:30 p.m., filled the entire end of the parking
lot. Then everyone headed into the park for the 7:05 p.m. start
of the game.
With the Pirates in last place in their division, they won
Thursday night against the NY Mets, lost Friday to the Phillies
and won Saturday night 11 to 6. The 38,132 sell-out crowd,
including the friends of Lincoln chapter, enjoyed a great game
and fireworks accompanied by country music by the PovertyNeck
HillBillies.
