More than 17,000 Reds fans descended upon the Duke Energy Convention on Dec. 12 and 13 for Kahn’s Redsfest XI. The team’s annual winter fan festival raised more than $100,000 to benefit the Reds Community Fund, while fans met dozens of current and former Reds players.

The two-day event kicked off with a special gathering of more than 60 current Reds players and coaches, Reds greats of the past and top minor leaguers. Throughout the weekend, fans again had the opportunity to meet their favorite Reds in autograph and photograph sessions, all free with admission to the event.

While interacting with the players was certainly a highlight for the thousands of Reds fans in attendance, there was plenty of other fun for fans of all ages throughout the weekend.

The convention center was filled with interactive games and exhibits, while the Reds Community Fund activated two indoor baseball fields and the Reds Hall of Fame area displayed historic artifacts and hosted trivia contests. Fans also had the opportunity to pose for photographs in front of several displays, including life-size cutouts of the 2008 team and All-Stars from the 1990 wire-to-wire World Series champions.

The CincinnatiUSA.com Main Stage featured a performance by the Bronson Arroyo Band on Friday night, plus a kids-only press conference and Hot Stove Report with Reds players and

While Redsfest was a tremendous fundraiser for the Reds Community Fund, the weekend began with the RCF presenting a check for $50,000 to Cincinnati Public Schools to support baseball programs, field renovations and six junior high RBI teams.

Friday’s ceremonies s also included the presentation of the quarterly Owen Wrassman Community Service Award to Kim Nuxhall for his continued work in the community, including spearheading the Reds Rookie Success League Butler County franchise.

On Nov. 2, 2005, the Cincinnati Reds announced the intention of their owners to sell a controlling interest in the club to a group of Cincinnatians led by Robert H. Castellini, Chairman of Castellini Company.

Other members of the purchasing group included Thomas L. Williams and W. Joseph Williams, Jr., President and Chairman, respectively, of Cincinnati based North American Properties.

The sale was completed on Jan. 19, 2006, when Mr. Castellini took over control of the club as its Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Castellini has been involved in Major League Baseball for almost 30 years. His involvement included a minor ownership stake in the Reds as part of the Williams family interest until that interest was

sold in 1984. He became a partner in the Texas Rangers in 1989 and the Baltimore Orioles in 1993. Since 1995, Mr. Castellini was an investor in the St. Louis Cardinals, and those interests were sold as a condition of his acquisition of the Reds.

Mr. Castellini has been the Chairman of Castellini Group of Companies since 1992, following tenures as Executive Vice President from 1967–1970 and President from 1970–1992. The Castellini businesses include perishable distribution, food processing, public warehousing, transportation logistics and leasing.
