KFC’s Inaugural “Fowl Pole” Challenge to Award 500 Local Teams Parties if Youngster Hits Homer Off Williamsport Foul Poles During Upcoming Series

LOUISVILLE, KY - KFC is on a mission to salute young ball players nationwide during this year’s big youth baseball series.

“KFC is proud to rename the foul poles in Williamsport, Pa. the KFC ‘fowl poles’ for this exciting promotion,” says Scott Bergren, executive vice president of marketing for KFC. “We’d sure be happy to give away a lot of chicken if one little slugger can hit a homerun off of the KFC ‘fowl poles’ during an official game of the big youth series.”
