We will be getting together with our friends from the General Smallwood Chapter to attend the Blue Crabs Baseball Game on Sunday afternoon, 24 June at the Regency Furniture Stadium. We did this last year and a great time was had by all. The stadium is located just off of Billingsley Road between Route 5 and Route 301 south of Waldorf. (From St. Mary's and Calvert Counties, go north on Route 5 toward Waldorf. Turn left on Billingsley Road. Take Billingsley Road for approximately three miles. Turn left on Piney Church Road. Go approximately 0.5 miles and the stadium will be on the right.) The stadium is handicapped accessible through the main gate. The National Anthem will be at 1400 and the game will begin promptly at 1405 (2:05pm). We have managed to negotiate a lower price than was originally reported. The cost will be $23 per person, and kids five and under are free. The cost includes the admission, seats in an area reserved for us and an all-you-can-eat buffet catered by the Texas Roadhouse (hot dogs, BBQ chicken, pulled pork, French fries, baked beans, and unlimited soft drinks). The buffet starts when the gates open at 1:30, and the buffet will run for two hours. We encourage everyone to come at 1:30 to enjoy the buffet.
