JOLIET, IL — On Thursday, the Joliet Slammers announced details of their annual Holiday Open House will be on Saturday, Dec. 2 at Duly Health and Care Field in the Hall of Fame Room off of Jefferson Street. Doors will open at 9 a.m. and the event will run until noon.

People are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped, gift to be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of Joliet. Anyone that donates a gift will be entered into a drawing to win a night in a suite during the 2024 season.

“This is my favorite off season event,” said Slammers CFO and General Manager Heather Mills. “It’s a chance to connect with fans that we haven’t seen since the season ended, and many of our fans have made this event a family tradition. Our fans are very generous with donations for the Boys & Girls Club of Joliet and it’s always great to give back to one of our neighbors.”

The event is free and the Slammers will have cookies, candy, a hot chocolate and coffee bar, cookie decorating, a craft station, and more. Specially priced merchandise and tickets will be for sale at the open house.

Fans can also meet Night Train Veeck. He along with his father Mike Veeck and Hollywood actor and beloved comedian Bill Murray are the new majority owners of the Joliet Slammers.
