Baltimore County Hosting Orioles Pep Rally

Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz announced Wednesday that the county is holding an Oct. 1 rally to support the Orioles as the team pursues a World Series pennant. The free rally is open to the public and will be held at Towson’s Patriot Plaza.

“As the Orioles get ready for October baseball, let’s show Los Angeles, Oakland, Detroit and Kansas City that orange and black reign supreme in the American League,” said Kamenetz, who last week waged a Major League Baseball challenge against two other county executives.

At the Oct. 1 rally, Kamenetz will be joined by the County Council, Oriole Bird and a Wild Bill Hagy impersonator. Baltimore County employees and business leaders will also be in attendance.

Fans are encouraged to wear their most outrageous Orioles gear, since there will be a “Super Fan” contest with official O’s prizes.

Free hot dogs will be available while supplies last. There will also be t-shirt giveaways.

Sponsored by the Baltimore County Office of Tourism and Promotion, the free rally will be held in Towson’s Patriot Plaza beginning at noon on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
