For 2013, the BATS FREE ticket program has been split into 2 parts, with each part described in detail below:
(Part 1) The Bats will host 2 large community nights and provide tickets, hot dogs and drinks to non-profit groups who would not be able to afford a Bats game under regular circumstances. These 2 nights include 4,000 guests for each game–Tuesday, June 25 and Tuesday, July 30.
(Part 2) The Bats will host groups and small numbers of people doing the good of the community that might not fit into the category above. This includes 12,000 total ticket vouchers (without hot dogs and drinks) distributed for use on ANY of these 5 designated nights: May 27, June 10, June 24, July 29, and August 26 (all Mondays). The benefit is an increase in the number of people involved and greater flexibility to obtain complimentary tickets – the groups are able to choose their own date within these 5 nights.
To request tickets for either program, please send an email to: Dustin Mercurio, Louisville Bats at dmercurio@batsbaseball.com or 502-614-4525. Please include the following: Organization name, contact name, mailing address, email address, daytime phone number, number of tickets, and date requested – June 25, July 30, or Part 2 requested Monday date.

Louisville Metro Animal Services and my office are teaming up to offer a Rabies, License and Microchip Clinic Saturday, June 8th 11:00am-3:00pm at Derby City Eagles #2173 (under the Dave Bassett Pavilion) located at 201 Outer Loop. Metro Animal Services’ staff veterinarian will administer rabies vaccines and implant microchips at affordable prices! Citizens can also license their pets.

If a Metro Animal Control Officer finds a roaming dog or cat with a license, the officer may be able to provide your pet a free ride home. For more information, contact Margaret Brosko at 502-618-7124.
