The revived Tri Cities Fever indoor football team played their season home opener in Kennewick’s Toyota Center against the Kent Predators on Saturday night. The first half was exciting with each team answer the other’s touchdown and at the half were at a 35-35 tie. After the halftime break the Kent Predators looked refreshed and proved that point with several unanswered touchdowns, meanwhile the Fever’s much smaller line was worn out after battling the three behemoths of Kent’s center and two front linemen. For the most part it was an exciting game the first half, but it became obvious quickly into the second half that they were not gonna come out victorious. We’ve definitely got some speed, but in this particular game that didn’t mean much. Let’s be hopeful that the next home game scheduled for April 10th is a better one for the Fever!

A new 80 x 40 footstage at the Toyota Center in Kennewick will provide a closer and more cozy theatre experience for viewers. In addition to the stage improvements, the acoustics have been updated and new curtains added.

The new seating will accomodate 2,100 ticket holders and allow for better visual and hearing opportunities than in the paast. The intent of the updating is to lure higher end performances to come to the Tri-Cities, thus building on stronger showings of performing arts in the area, and support the talent at WSU Tri-Cities in Richland and Columbia Basin College in Pasco.

The Tri-Cities Rotary and the Tri-City Americans will be sponsoring the “Duck Night with the Ams” this Saturday at 7:00 p.m., at the Kennewick Toyota Center. The first 500 fans will receive duck calls.

The 21st Great Mid-Columbia Duck Race will take place on October 17th and tickets are $5.00. The funds raised will assist local charities and provide humanitarian projects.

A 2010 Toyota Camry and other prizes are what Tri-Citians and their ducks will be competing for during the race which takes place in Columbia Park.
