MINOT HONEYBEES EARN 2026 NORTHWOODS LEAGUE SOFTBALL OUTSTANDING THEME NIGHT AWARD 

Singles Night recognized for its immersive, interactive experience at Corbett Field 

MINOT, ND – The Minot Honeybees have been recognized as the recipient of the 2026 Northwoods League Softball Outstanding Theme Night Award for Singles Night powered by Absolute Honey, recognizing the team’s efforts to create an immersive, interactive experience that brought fans directly into the action at Corbett Field.

Singles Night turned the ballpark into a dating-themed experience, featuring pre-game speed dating, interactive on-field games, and dating-show-style entertainment hosted by special guest Matt Wurnig of 50 Dates, 50 States.

Fans weren’t just watching the entertainment; they had the opportunity to become part of it. Winners of the on-field dating games were treated to their own “first date,” complete with a reserved table in the Ryan Chevrolet First Base Club, where they could get to know each other while watching the Honeybees play.

The experience began as soon as fans entered the ballpark, where they could choose a red, yellow, or green relationship-status bracelet. Local businesses also helped bring the theme to life, with Northern Bottling providing Love Island-inspired Poppi drinks, IronHorse Kitchen + Bar offering samples, and Atypical Brewery & Barrelworks and Absolute Honey participating in the festivities.

“Our goal has always been to create immersive, interactive experiences that go beyond the game,” said Minot Hot Tots and Honeybees General Manager Monica Blake. “We want fans to be part of the fun and leave with memories they’ll talk about long after the season ends. Singles Night was a great example of that, and it’s exciting to see that recognized by the league.”

The award highlights the Hot Tots’ and Honeybees’ continued commitment to creating unique, memorable experiences that bring fans together and make a night at Corbett Field about more than just baseball or softball.
