You just can\u2019t imagine what these elves come up with.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

CFO \/ Part Owner, Eau Claire Express<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why in the world do I hire elves for a baseball team?<\/p>\n

Well, you may be struggling to come up with the right gift for a baseball fan that you know. My elves can help.<\/p>\n

For instance, when the elves and I sat down to talk about this holiday season, the elves had some strong opinions.<\/p>\n

\u201cLess games,\u201d one elf, the plump one, said. \u201cThat\u2019s what families want.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, make it easy for families,\u201d said another elf, the one that\u2019s always smiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cGive them lots of free stuff,\u201d said the elf that did cartwheels when trying to make a point.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The elves are really proud of their exciting idea.<\/p><\/div>\n

So the elves and I created a ticket package for busy families. This may work for you. Here\u2019s what you get.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Just Five Games.<\/strong> That\u2019s only one or two a month for the summer when school is out. Three of five games are on Fridays. And each of the five games will feature fireworks and\/or a special entertainment act or premium giveaway item.<\/li>\n
  2. All-You-Can-Eat. <\/strong>At every 5-Game Pack night, you\u2019ll get all of the hot dogs, cheeseburgers, brats, sides, soda, and water that you want. Everything comes with the ticket. There\u2019s even an express line behind the 1st base\n<\/div><\/div>
    \"\"

    Clearly, Trax can’t wait to be part of your Christmas!<\/p><\/div>\n

    bleachers dedicated just to the 5-Game Pack ticket holder. This means no waiting in line!<\/em><\/li>\n

  3. FREE Gifts. <\/strong>We like to give our fans special items, so for every 5-Game Pack, you get a handful of gifts. You\u2019ll get:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A free Express jersey, free Express cap, free Express mug to use at the games and an opportunity to take pre-game batting practice<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The Best Promotional Nights. <\/strong>Fireworks after four of the five games (including the earliest and best way to reserve seats for the Fourth of July). And you\u2019ll get to see the return of the ZOOperstars to Carson Park.<\/li>\n
    2. Highly Affordable. <\/strong>Just $14 per game. The cost per 5-Game Pack is just $70. The value is over $230! We have a limited amount of the elf-created 5-Game Packs available, so I would recommend that you order today.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Reserve your 5-Game Pack today by clicking here to order online<\/a>, or by calling 715-839-7788. You\u2019ll make my elves happy. You\u2019ll give an amazing gift. And you\u2019ll make yourself happy next summer when you\u2019re having fun at Express games.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
