Hannibal Parks and Recreation seeking potential advertiser for sign at Bear Creek Sports Park

HANNIBAL, Mo. — The Hannibal Parks and Recreation Department is accepting bids for the opportunity to have advertising displayed on a sign at the entrance to Bear Creek Sports Park. Bidding will start at $400. The winning bidder will be able to display their name or logo on a 2′ x 3′ space on the 5′ x 8′ sign that will be displayed at the park’s entrance.

In a press release, Chad Collier, assistant director of Hannibal Parks and Recreation, said, “We hope to make this an annual opportunity for advertising.”

Bear Creek Sports Park hosts league games every night along with several weekend tournaments throughout the summer. There are four playing fields, two of which are suited for softball and two fields that can hold both little league baseball and softball. League nights alone can have audiences of more than 600 people.

Hannibal Parks and Recreation took over management of Bear Creek Sports Park last year after more than 30 years of volunteer management.

Bidding will take place directly on the Bear Creek Facebook page or anonymously by calling the Hannibal Parks and Recreation office at 573-221-0154.
