Dow Corning will additionally have title sponsorship of three other key events associated with the game: The All-Star FanFest, powered by Dow Corning; The Hometown Hitter, powered by Dow Corning and The All-Star Home Run Derby, powered by Dow Corning.

Welcome to the rest of this post, powered by Dow Corning. What happens at a FanFest, powered by Dow Corning.

The 2008 All-Star FanFest, powered by Dow Corning, is a three day event, June 15-17. Admission will be free.

During the All-Star FanFest Powered by Dow Corning, visitors can take part in a multitude of events such as live concerts, skills challenges, photo opportunities and exhibits about our national past time.

Home Run Derby I, powered by Dow Corning, get. But, I'm a bit foggy on the whole Hometown Hitter.

Titled the Hometown Hitter, powered by Dow Corning, this unique event will enable high school athletes to vie for the opportunity to compete alongside the pros in the Midwest League Home Run Derby, powered by Dow Corning, June 16. Local high school varsity baseball coaches will be asked to nominate one player per high school to compete in the event. Qualifying events will take place at Dow Diamond in the weeks and months leading up to the Midwest League All-Star Home Run Derby. One high school hitter will emerge as the winner and will compete as the ninth contestant on June 16.

Will the high school contestants be allowed to use aluminum bats in qualifying, powered by Dow Corning? Will the winning high school contestant be allowed to use an aluminum bat, powered by Dow Corning in the Home Run Derby, powered by Dow Corning? That doesn't seem right...or powered by Dow Corning.
