As part of the 150th Anniversary Celebration of Rush County, there will be a vintage baseball game on October 12, 2024 in La Crosse. The Historic Fort Hays Post Nine team will be traveling to La Crosse to take on the Next Generation Loretto Bluejays. The game will be played following the rules of 1869.

This will be the first time a team has worn a Loretto Uniform in over 50 years. The game will be held Saturday, October 12, at the Rush County Fairgrounds Field on east Hwy 4 in La Crosse. The game will start at 1:00pm and there is no admission charge. Vintage concessions will also be available.

The game is sponsored by the Rush County Sesquicentennial, “The 150-Year Rush,” a year-long celebration of events commemorating the founding of Rush County on December 5, 1874. For more information visit rushcounty.org/celebrate150 or contact Rush County Economic Development at 785-222-2808.
