Rawhide Rustlers Senior Club to Continue in 2024

The Visalia Rawhide will continue one of the more popular offerings at Valley Strong Ballpark for the 2024 season, the Rawhide Rustlers Senior Club.

The only exclusive senior club for baseball fans 55 and older, the Rawhide Rustlers Senior Club comes with perks to boost the fan experience. Club membership comes with one ticket to every Wednesday home game and a membership t-shirt, in addition to exclusive giveaways and activities throughout the season. It also includes bingo at every Wednesday game.

Membership in the Rawhide Rustlers Club starts at $30 and runs through the season.

The Rawhide Rustlers Seniors Club began in 2019 as a way to attract more of the senior community to the ballpark, by not only offering discounted tickets, but adding exclusive giveaways and activities.

"I love the great entertainment and it's such a bargain," said Fred Fifield, club member.

"First off is the friendly staff. That's really why we keep going, but I love baseball, I love my friends, and I want them to love (baseball) with me," said club member Pam Evans.

"You get to see a lot of the same people and make numerous friendships from the Rustlers," said member Bret Rideout, who added, "Every Wednesday instead of the $13 a seat, it's $3 throughout the season. It's a cheaper seat for all the Wednesday home games."

The Visalia Rawhide Rustlers Club is sponsored by Parks Visalia and American Quality Life Hospice.

Belle of the Ballpark

Not specifically a part of the Rustlers program, but a very popular event at the stadium is the "Belle of the Ballpark," a pageant that encourages ladies, ages 60 and over, to show off their talents in front of a crowd by participating in fun activities with their peers.

Women from the Tulare and Kings County area are nominated by local senior housing facilities to participate in this fun and unique event.

Geraldine Oliver, who was crowned the 2023 Belle of the Ballpark, will be defending her crown at the event, which will be held on May 8th at 6 p.m.
