An evening celebrating and honoring local athletes is coming up on Saturday, Feb. 17 at The Frauenthal Theater in downtown Muskegon.

Tickets to Local Sports Journal’s first-ever “Varsity Blues Athletic Sports Awards Show” can easily be purchased online today.

The evening includes sports awards, live music, sports skits, food and door prizes … all for the price of $20.

We know $20 is how much people are required to pay for a crummy chicken sandwich these days, but Local Sports Journal wants folks involved in the world’s greatest local sports scene in a family atmosphere.    

Doors open at 5:15 with Vincent Hayes and The Port City All-Stars blues band kicking off the show at 6 p.m.

Select Muskegon Area Sports Hall of Fame members are slated to be present in the Frauenthal lobby. If you’ve ever wanted to ask a question of one of the area’s sports heroes from years gone by, this is your chance to do just that and even get their autograph.

If you’re hungry … yes, there will be food catered by Teddy’s Spaghetti. BBQs at the opening and a dessert at intermission.

There are plenty of door prizes too like a coveted week-long trip to California for one lucky attendee and a guest of their choice. Two airline tickets and lodging are included with the prize.

Langlois has also ratcheted up the prize closet with a La-Z-Boy recliner and MOTIV bowling is giving away two bowling balls. There also will be gift cards to area businesses awarded throughout the evening.

This is a night celebrating local athletes you don’t want to miss.
