Fans will have an opportunity to meet the players, admire their culinary skills, and sit down to a nourishing, league-leading breakfast of champions. We’ll be serving French toast, made with Brick Oven’s famous Children’s Pleasure bread; wild rice sausages; fruit; and beverages. The cost is $5 for adults, $3 for kids 12 and under, or $12 per family.

Proceeds from the breakfast will help underwrite the team’s entry fee for the Northfield Church Softball League.
