This was a last minute event. I heard the promotion on the radio that the Normal, IL CornBelters baseball team was having a Star Wars night at the Corn Crib on the day of the game. I contacted a few other members and we showed up bought our tickets and changed in the parking lot. Roamed around the stadium taking pictures with fans young & old. Several children were dressed in Star Wars costumes and parents were sporting Star Wars shirts. We were asked to play along with the infield antics. The dark side was able to out dance "Corny" (team mascot). The CornBelters lost to the Schaumburg Boomers (4-5) but the fire work display was nice as it was set to Star Wars music.

All right, look, there's only one "Return," okay, and it ain't "of the King," it's "of the Jedi!
