The Woodbury Barnstormers faced off against the St. Croix baseball club in a vintage baseball game that transported players and spectators back in time. The St. Croix team, which operates as a program of the Washington County Historical Society, defeated the Barnstormers 13-6 in a match played according to rules from the 1800s.

The game featured authentic 19th-century baseball mechanics that differ significantly from modern play. Players caught outs on the first bounce rather than requiring catches in the air, and fielders played barehanded without modern gloves. These rule changes fundamentally altered gameplay and strategy, giving the event educational value alongside its entertainment appeal.

The Woodbury Heritage Society initiated the event as a way to connect residents with the city's baseball heritage and local history. The vintage game format allowed community members to experience how the sport was played generations ago, making it both a cultural celebration and a learning opportunity.

Alongside the baseball game, organizers held Cow Chip Bingo, a quirky fundraising activity that drew additional community participation. Attendees purchased tickets corresponding to numbered squares marked on the grass. A cow was brought onto the field, and whoever owned the square where the cow left its mark won a prize. The event served as both an engaging activity and a fundraising mechanism for the community.

The council's discussion of these events reflects Woodbury's commitment to preserving local history while creating opportunities for residents to gather and celebrate their community's heritage.
