The Kanawha County Commission in conjunction with several sponsors and the WV Power has put together the following promotion for Coal Miner Appreciation Day at Appalachian Power Park:
Coal Miner Appreciation Day at Appalachian Power Park will be the Memorial Day game on Monday, May 31; 1:05 pm start. All coal miners (active & retired) and their immediate family will receive free admission to the game.
The free admission will include the Belly Buster package of all you can eat and drink. Starting on that game, all Power players will wear a #29 patch on their uniform for the remainder of the season. The WV Power will retire the #29 jersey. An outfield billboard will be placed to memorialize the fallen miners. Various fund raising activities for the fallen miners’ families will take place during and after the game.
