Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:42 AM PDT

World's largest and longest-running traveling baseball celebration enters seventh season offering free family entertainment to minor league baseball fans in communities across the country.

Glen Ridge, NJ (PRWEB) April 17, 2010 -- The Principal Financial Group Family Fun Fest will visit more than 40 minor league baseball ballparks, including 10 Triple-A stadiums and the Eastern League All-Star Game, as announced today by tour creators and producers, Entertainment and Sports International (ESI). The tour will launch May 13 at the home of the Wilmington Blue Rocks when they host the Lynchburg Hillcats.

For the seventh consecutive year, the Principal Financial Group® will serve as the exclusive title sponsor of this unique entertainment experience. During this year's tour, The Principal® will highlight its national educational campaign - America Rebuilds with The Principal - aimed at providing Americans with the inspiration, advice and tools they need to get their financial futures back on track.

Baseball legend and Hall of Famer, Nolan Ryan, returns as national spokesperson. "The minor leagues offer fans a great baseball experience," said Ryan. "From exceptional value to a safe, family environment, fans get to see competitive professional baseball with non-stop entertainment. The Principal Financial Group Family Fun Fest extends that excitement before the game with an event truly unique to minor league ballparks."

Started in 2004, the tour has been visited by nearly two million fans over the course of 300 stops. Open three hours before the game and set up right outside the main stadium gates, the event is free to all fans and features more than 20 baseball themed attractions, including:

--   A minor league baseball museum featuring memorabilia from more than 100 years of baseball history;
--   A state-of-the-art Home Run Derby Video Game Arcade with the latest baseball and family games sponsored by Great Clips;
--   Free souvenir personalized baseball cards sponsored by Travelodge;
--   Free Sports Illustrated Kids personalized magazine covers;
--   A midway with batting and pitching cages, giant slides, bounce houses, bungee runs and attractions specifically designed for younger fans;
--   And new attractions from Topps Trading Cards, Random House Children's Books, and Louisville Slugger.

Baseball fans also have a chance to win $5,000, or free nights at Travelodge and a personalized Louisville Slugger baseball bat, by entering The Principal 401-K Challenge. It's a fun and exciting sweepstakes recognizing the first participating team on the tour to register 401 home strikeouts (K's). Last year's winning team and the reigning champs are the Fort Wayne TinCaps. The online entry form and complete rules are available at www.principal.com/funfest.

The 2010 schedule features first-time appearances in six new markets, including the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, the Eastern League All-Star Game, and teams representing 13 affiliated and independent leagues.
