An overnight trip to enjoy a baseball game in Billings, Montana, is being offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Casper College. Membership in OLLI is not required to participate in the trip.
According to Vicki Pollock, lifelong learning specialist, the two-day adventure will feature a night game between the Billings Mustangs and the Orem Owlz at Dehler Park on Tuesday, July 18. The Mustangs are a farm team for the Cincinnati Reds while the Owlz are a farm team for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. While watching the ballgame, participants will enjoy delicious ballpark food. Baseball aficionado John Ewing will provide baseball facts and knowledge as part of the trip.
While heading to Billings, the bus will stop in Sheridan, Wyoming, for lunch and shopping. The following day will feature a tour of the historic Moss Mansion in downtown Billings and time for shopping and strolling before heading back to Casper.
