WINCHESTER – The 2011 Cal Ripken 10-Year-Old World Series, presented by Wachovia, A Wells Fargo Company, will be held August 13-20 on Yost Field in Jim Barnett Park.
Since families and teams will be traveling to Winchester from across the country, the World Series Executive Committee wanted to offer them something fun to do when they were not at the ball field. Thanks to the Winchester-Frederick County Visitors Center, World Series visitors now have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of relaxing excursions both locally and to neighboring attractions such as the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and Luray Caverns.
Local residents can also take part in the offer. Call Winchester Parks & Recreation at (540) 662-4946 to make a reservation.

Each tour package includes a full-day of sightseeing, admission to all museums, and a comfortable, modern, climate-controlled motor coach with reclining seats.
