"We really look forward to showcasing the renovations we have made at Colburn Park. It has been a couple of years in the making but, we have redone almost everything...the scoreboard, the concession stands, the seating, the press box. This year we redid the entire locker room. We are thankful the PGCBL Board of Directors awarded the game to us and we plan on a great show." stated Pilots owner Bob Ohmann.

All of this to go along with the on field promotions, great food and great atmosphere that you have come to know at Colburn Park, you won’t want to miss it!
