In a trip that led him from the potato fields to the baseball dugout in the span of a few days, Young & Free Spokester Seth Poplaski recently spent time connecting with Maine’s 25 and under crowd at popular summer events. He began his journey in Fort Fairfield at the Annual Potato Blossom Festival, where the now famous, brightly-colored Young & Free vehicle was a part of the festival’s parade on July 16. Poplaski was joined by representatives from local credit unions, who helped hand out giveaways to the crowd.
“I had a great time in Fort Fairfield being a part of the Potato Blossom Festival. I was able to talk to many people about Young & Free Maine and the impact it could have on their lives, and also the benefits of joining a credit union,” Poplaski said. “It was my first trip up to that area of northern Maine, and it definitely opened my eyes to how big of an economic impact potatoes have on our economy.”
The colorful Young & Free car could then be spotted on the highway as Poplaski headed south to attend a Sanford Mainers baseball game on July 18. There, he greeted fans, and even took part in a water balloon toss.
“As an avid baseball fan, I jumped at the chance to go watch a summer game featuring the Sanford Mainers. Although they didn't come away with a win, I enjoyed watching the teams compete and talking to the fans of the Mainers and credit union members,” he said. “I was also invited to go on the field in the sixth inning and be a passenger on the ‘Moose Mobile’. What a great opportunity!”
