Fans of Big Slick Weekend, rejoice!

The annual local celebrity homecoming hoedown for KC area stars Rob Riggle, Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis, David Koechner and Eric Stonestreet will arrive slightly earlier than in previous years.

Organizers announced Monday that the next Big Slick Celebrity Weekend will be June 1-2, 2018.

Once again, the stars and their celebrity guests will play softball at Kauffman Stadium before a Friday Royals game (the boys in blue will be hosting the Oakland A’s June 1-3). The next day the celebrities will have a bowling tournament at Pinstripes in Overland Park and then head to the Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland that night for the annual auction.

Tickets will go on sale in the spring. Find more info at bigslickkc.org.
