Dwier Brown makes special guest appearance for Miracle League of Sioux City Fundraiser.
On Tuesday night, Dwier Brown, the actor that plays Ray Kinsella’s father in the ‘Field of Dreams’ movie, was in Sioux City to help out with the Miracle League fundraiser. Dwier Brown also got the opportunity to play catch with Kevin Negaard who runs the Wanna Have a Catch? campaign which supports the Miracle League. It was Kevin’s 301st consecutive time playing catch this year while raising awareness for the foundation. Dwier helped raise a lot of money for the Miracle League which allows them to continue to grow.
This is news because many Iowans know about the ‘Field of Dreams’ movie which takes place in Iowa. It is cool to read and see that an actor from the movie is helping out locally. So it covers the news value of uniqueness and proximity right there. It also covers the value of prominence because Dwier Brown is famous in Iowa.
One response so far
The lead here is broadcasty-y (KCAU) as a way to recall the film. I’m not sure Brown is famous (I didn’t know the name), but the movie definitely is.
