Red House Media

RedHouseMedia unveiled its new softball team today, the RedHouseReds.

The team, formerly known as the Wildcats, is now sponsored by Aaron Hautala, owner of RedHouseMedia. In the offseason, Aaron offered to underwrite the team I had been managing for the past several years.

After about six years of being sponsored by various groups, it’s great to have all of our team’s underwriting taken care of so we can just focus on softball. I think Aaron is excited about playing
the “Jerry Jones” owner role. I can picture him pacing around behind the dugout while we are playing a game.

The RedHouseReds partner sponsors include: Pro Print of Duluth and The Garage Promotional Group.

It’s a great way to spend a summer night. My family along with many of the other players’ families all come out to watch the game. Our wives visit and the kids all run around playing. In the past we have occasionally grilled hotdogs between games and had team parties. I think that is something we
would like to expand on this year. I would love to see more friends and families at the games. We are currently thinking through additional promos or events to make the games even more fun.

Minor league or farm teams do a lot of extra creative events during a season. I realize we are just a
local softball team, but let me remind you that as an extension of RedHouseMedia, the RedHouseReds are just as unconventional by design.  Who says we cant have as much fun as the farm teams?

So, friends and followers of RedHouseMedia, consider this your invitation to join the team for a game. Every game is a knot-hole game (free admission). The team plays in Brainerd every Tuesday night at Memorial Park/Mills Field. Opening night is a double-header. We’ll play this Tuesday, May 4th,

at 6 p.m. on field #3 (Near the Lunkers’ ballpark.) and then again on field #2 at 7 p.m. To follow the team more closely visit the blog at: redhousereds.blogspot.com or View the season schedule now.

See you on at the fields.
