MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee head baseball coach Steve Peterson has announced the annual Grand Slam Fish Fry fundraiser will take place on Tuesday, October 13, at 6 p.m. at the Tennessee Livestock Center on the Middle Tennessee campus.
As always, the event will feature country whole fried catfish with all the trimmings prepared by Shelbyville's own "Big Hoss" Cartwright; authentic Cajun gumbo by our Louisiana transplant, Blue Raider legend John Stanford; as well as hot dogs for the kids. Russ & Becky Jeffers Country Band from Jack Daniels Distillery will be on hand for the evening's entertainment.
"We have fried over 600 pounds of catfish and 50 gallons of gumbo the last two years," Peterson said.
"The Fish Fry is one of our biggest events of the year. We have been hosting it since 1984 and each year it gets bigger and better. It's a great way to socialize with everyone and raise money for the baseball program. With great food, fun and entertainment it's certainly an event you don't want to miss."
Tickets are $20 at the door and children six and under are admitted free of charge.
Tickets are available at the Middle Tennessee Ticket Office located at Gate 1A of Floyd Stadium and the Middle Tennessee BRAA office in Murphy Center.
Patrons wishing to pay by mail can make checks payable to Middle Tennessee Baseball Fish Fry and can send their payment to Steve Peterson, MTSU Box 90, Murfreesboro, TN, 37132.
