The Connie Mack Foster Families Committee is looking for wonderful families, like yours, to host baseball players coming to Farmington from all over the country. 10 teams comprised of 17 & 18 year-old players from the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico will compete for the 2012 title. Local, regional, national, and international visitors will come out to support the players, creating an estimated attendance of 85,000 for 2012.
The boys will be in town to play in the 2012 Connie Mack World Series August 3rd - 10th, with players arriving on August 2nd. It is a rich tradition of the series to host the players in our homes and cheer them on while they are in our community.
If you are looking for a fun and rewarding family experience please consider becoming a host family and supporting this Farmington tradition. For more information please give us a call or send us an e-mail.
Thank you for your generosity,
Connie Mack Foster Family Committee
