SoxFest Is Coming

It’s that time of year again! SoxFest 2013 is right around the corner and everyone has been working hard to ensure an exceptional event. Here’s what you can look forward to from the social media department:

SoxFest will feature a virtual museum that allows fans the opportunity to travel through time and encounter historical figures in White Sox history. Fans will also have the opportunity to virtually interact with photo displays through QR codes and a text code (text ‘SOXFEST’ to 244769 )

SoxFest attendees are encouraged to stop by the whitesox.com booth at the garage bays on level 4 to interact with the White Sox and players online via social media.

Did we mention we’ve got a new Tumlbr page?

In addition to SoxFest, the Chicago White Sox are excited to introduce the redesigned Official White Sox Tumblr page.  The page serves as a one-stop shop for fans providing news, updates and a behind the scenes look into the White Sox organization. The new design allows fans access to all things White Sox with ease, featuring links to tickets, news stories, upcoming events and more.  Follow the White Sox on Tumblr at http://www.whitesox.com/tumblr.
