"Commerce Day at the K"

Commerce Bank sponsored "Commerce Day at the K" for all employees on Saturday, June 20th. It was a Royals - Cardinals game in which the Royals lost big time but we still managed to have fun anyway!!! The fun started at 1:00pm, with a special Commerce tent that had catered food from Brancato's barbeque. It was really good....especially the brisket. It poured down rain the entire time we were in the tent. After eating way too much food....especially the chocolate brownies that were too die for....we headed over to the stadium. The game was supposed to start at 3:10pm but there was of course, a RAIN DELAY. The game didn't get started until almost 5pm. We, of course, waited it out. A lot of people left but not us!...we saw it through. It finally cleared up and the game was underway. This was the first time we had been to the stadium since all of the renovations were completed. I do have to say I was impressed. The only thing I was NOT happy about was the fact there is no more Dippin Dots ice cream!!! This almost ruined the gaming experience for me. I had to suck it up and settle for Sheridan's Frozen Custard...not the same. My friend, Theresa, and I had sent in for tickets at the same time and we were ecstatic when Commerce put our seats together!! :):) We thoroughly enjoyed our time with the Green family and hope to do it again!!!
