The 2010 Reds Winter Caravan, presented by CincinnatiUSA.com, is scheduled to make 14 fan stops in four states covering four days and more than 2,600 miles. The caravan kicks off Thursday, Jan. 28 and will include fan stops that will be open to the public along with Hot Stove stops at Reds on Radio affiliates.
The 2010 tour will consist of three separate caravans touring simultaneously. The stops open to the public will be free, and at each stop the Reds will raffle off two tickets to the 2010 Opening Day game against the St. Louis Cardinals on April 5.
The very popular Reds Winter Caravan provides fans with the opportunity to interact with Reds Manager Dusty Baker, President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Walt Jocketty, current and former players, broadcasters and other members of the front office staff. At each stop, the group will field questions from fans and sign autographs. Due to time constraints, autograph sessions may not be able to satisfy all fans in attendance. Sales representatives will be on hand to discuss season tickets and group sales, while the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, the Reds Community Fund and Cincinnati USA Regional Tourism Network also will attend selected stops.
