Rocket Raccoon Twins Bobblehead

Remember the first Twins giveaway bobblehead is in a couple weeks.  Rocket Raccoon in Twins colors will make his appearance on May 6th.  10,000 of these will be handed out to fans who walk through the Target Field gates that day.  See my previous blog post here!

Coming Soon: Mayor Ardell Brede Bobblehead

The Rochester Honkers are giving away 500 Ardell Brede bobbleheads on June 14th.  Brede is the mayor of Rochester (and has been since 2003).  As a well respected community member and political figure, the Honkers decided this was the year that Brede would be depicted in bobblehead form.  I'm sure it'll be a popular giveaway!  Check out the picture below!

Coming Soon: Ila Borders Bobblehead

The Duluth Huskies recently announced a bobblehead giveaway during their upcoming season.  On July 26th the Huskies will give away an Ila Borders bobblehead.  This actually is the 2nd Borders bobblehead giveaway of Borders this summer as the Saint Paul Saints are doing one on May 27th! As a collector my hope is they are different bobbles.  I haven't seen a picture of the Saints one yet.  She played parts of 3 seasons with Duluth (known then as a the Dukes) before moving to the WBL and then retiring in 2000.

Sneak Peek - Twins Vintage Bobblehead

So last year the Twins did a vintage bobble-boy bobblehead.  This year they are doing a vintage bobble-girl bobblehead.  That day is fast approaching - July 31st!  I've shared this picture a couple different times on my blog, but since the giveaway day is close - I wanted to make one more blog post on it!  

Sneak Peek - Byron Buxton Bobblehead

Byron Buxton is getting his second bobblehead of the season, check out this link to read more about the first one.  The Chattanooga Lookouts are giving away this Buxton bobble on the 30th of July. This is the final bobblehead in a series of 3 the Lookouts gave away.  The first was Adam Brett Walker and the second was Miguel Sano.  Again, the Lookouts did a great job on these 3!!

Sneak Peek - Byron Buxton Bobblehead

On Friday, July 8th, the Cedar Rapids Kernels are giving away a Byron Buxton bobblehead!  Buxton is a hugely popular player and Im sure this will go over quite well in the land of bobblehead collecting! This is the second giveaway bobblehead of Buxton (last year New Britain did one) and its the first of 2 bobbles for Byron this year (Chattanooga is doing one at the end of the month)!  The Kernels always do a great job with their bobbleheads and this one is no different, I love the look of it as its something a bit different, but perfect for Buxton, since he's a defensive stud!  For all of the Midwestern readers, Cedar Rapids isn't too far away!  Get your tickets here for the game!

Sneak Peek - Adam Brett Walker Bobblehead

On Saturday (the 25th of June) the Chattanooga Lookouts will be giving out 1000 bobbleheads of Twins minor league slugger, Adam Brett Walker.  This is the first in a series of 3 bobbleheads the Lookouts are doing this season.  This one looks pretty cool!  I might be biased, but I think the Lookouts logo is one of the best.  If you are thinking of going, click here for tickets!

Sneak Peek - Bill Taunton Bobblehead

On July 6th, the Willmar Stingers will be giving away a Bill Taunton bobblehead.  This is somewhat of a sneak peek, but kinda not.  This bobblehead (the exact some one) was also a giveaway last year by the Stingers.  Taunton is a pretty damn popular local hero and the Stingers wanted to bring back the bobbleheads one more time!  Get your tickets here!

Trevor Plouffe Skywalker Bobblehead Night

Tonight the Twins giveaway their first bobblehead of the season.  I've blogged about this one before, read about it here.  The Twins do several "Theme Night Giveaways" and this is one of the best.  In order to receive the giveaway you buy a special ticket, which guarantees you of receiving the giveaway.  How can it get better than that?  Well, because you don't even need to go into Target Field to get the item, you pick it up outside the gate and then are able to return to your vehicle to drop off the item so you don't have to lug it around all night.  With several things, thats no big deal, but its nice to ditch bobbleheads in the car!  Should be a fun night, maybe we'll even see a win?  

Upcoming Giveaways - Chattanooga Lookouts

I'll be updating the info in the right sidebar under "Notable 2016 Bobblehead Giveaways" over the next couple of weeks. I've got a lot of new data surrounding those giveaways and some new ones as well!  I'll most likely do a couple blogs about the new giveaways too.  Plus I'm trying to figure out a way to show pictures of what these giveaways will look like.  I think that'll be a nice addition!

For now, I wanted to pass along the 3 bobbleheads that the Chattanooga Lookouts will be doing this year and Twins fans will be quite excited for these 3!  The first on June 25th will be Adam Brett Walker!  Next on the list is Miguel Sano on July 16th!  This is roughly 1 month after the Twins unveil their Sano bobble.  Lastly is the giveway on July 30th of none other than Byron Buxton!  Thats a nice trio of bobbleheads!  Hopefully I'll be able to update this entry as well as future ones with pictures!
