Sarasota News Leader October 25, 2013 Page 121 ORIOLES ANNOUNCE ARTS IN THE BALLPARK SERIES The Baltimore Orioles have announced they will host Arts in the Ballpark, a series of arts and entertainment events for the public, beginning this fall at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota. With free and low-cost offerings such as family-friendly concerts, hands-on activities and even a holiday ice show, "the series will appeal to a wide range of tastes and interests," a news release says. "The Orioles are excited to present the Arts in the Ballpark series to the Sarasota community as part of our Orioles in Sarasota 365 initiative," said David Rovine, vice president of Orioles-Sarasota, in the release. "Hosting major public events in addition to baseball at Ed Smith Stadium has been the Orioles' goal since the stadium renovation was completed in 2012. Our community partners in this endeavor have embraced that vision and Ed Smith Stadium will be home not just to Baltimore Orioles Spring Training games over the next months but also to community arts events.
