\"\"<\/p>\n

The Holidays are such a crazy time. Presents, Christmas lights, the tree, and of course\u2026Santa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The jolly old fat man who lives in the North Pole is really busy ONE night of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

You know how many nights of the year I am busy? A lot of them. The festive season can be hard work and a lot of extra effort. And year after year I find myself ranting about the fact that my family is under the<\/span>\u00a0impression that the man in red has chosen, made, wrapped and delivered the presents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He is the one that they behave for come December. He is the one they want to please. Despite the fact I wear myself out on a weekly basis to make their lives run smoothly, it is his once-a-year nightshift that leaves them wondering how on earth he gets it all done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Santa gets all of the credit!? <\/i><\/b>I’m sick of Santa getting all of the credit.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had enough of it.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Think about it. Who buys the presents? Who puts the decorations up? Who actually makes Christmas happen? <\/span>It\u2019s me<\/b>. Not, Old St. Nick.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, I love the festive season as much as anyone. I want my family to have a magical time. What I\u2019m upset about is that the man in the red suit gets all the credit.\u00a0 It\u2019s just not fair.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, not this year. This year, I signed the family up for a <\/span>Zoo Crew Membership<\/b>. It\u2019s an exclusive club, jam packed with perks, available for anyone to join. It comes with tickets to 5 games, gifts, unlimited food at every game, the best seats and access to year-round events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sorry Santa, but I\u2019m looking forward to this summer when I can sit in the sun, put my feet up on the box seat in front of me, sink my teeth into a delicious hotdog, wash it down with a cold beer and finally hear the words: \u201cThanks for everything\u201d from my family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what your family can expect as <\/span>Zoo Crew Members:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. All-You-Can-Eat Food\/Drinks.<\/b> You get all you can eat food through the 4th inning. We even bring in food trucks and catered meals to give more options each game.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Free Gifts.<\/b> Receive a team jersey and hat for FREE. ($75 value) It\u2019s the only way to get them.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Our Best Games.<\/b> Fireworks, local celebrities, nationally renown entertainment acts. Last year these weekend nights sold out. The only way to guarantee access to these games is with your membership.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Ticket Exchange Program.<\/b> You can exchange any tickets in advance for tickets to another regular season home game of your choice.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Payment Plan.<\/b> We even have an easy payment plan that allows you to pay as you go.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Year-Round Events. <\/b>As a member, you\u2019ll now get FREE access to exclusive events year round including our <\/span>February 11th, KWings <\/b>event.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Partner Perks and Coupons. <\/b>Visit our community partners and receive exclusive deals.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. And More! <\/b>Insider news and information. A discount on merchandise. Access to our Facebook group.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    New members also get these perks:<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Jersey and Hat for the Holidays.<\/b> Returning members get a jersey and hat to wrap up for the holidays.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. No payments until January<\/b>. Returning members won\u2019t be charged until January. Get your gifts, and not pay for them until later.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. KWings game tickets.<\/b> Returning members get free passes to the KWings game on February 11th.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      All of this will only cost you $85!<\/b> That\u2019s 1 ticket to 5 games for only $17 per game. If you walked up the day of the game you\u2019d pay $21 per ticket and not get any food, gifts or perks.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n

      Brian Colopy<\/span><\/p>\n

      Kalamazoo Growlers Owner<\/span><\/p>\n
