Bakersfield, Calif. – The Bakersfield Condors, host of the 2010-11 ECHL All-Star Classic and ECHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, will be back on the Mercy and Memorial Hospitals Home Ice at Rabobank Arena for a pair of games on Friday and Saturday after returning from a contest in Las Vegas on Thursday. The Condors will  face the Stockton Thunder on Friday and then welcome the Alaska Aces to town on Saturday. For both games, the doors open at 6  p.m. with the drop of the puck at 7 p.m.

On Friday night, the Condors will be giving away Schedule Magnets to all fans in attendance, courtesy of ESPN 1230 AM and Three Way Automotive Group. It is also the first ABC 23, SC Architect, and Kern County Firefighters Condors Classroom Champions Night at Rabobank Arena. Students at participating schools who achieve outstanding attendance levels received a complimentary ticket to the game. All students who qualify can also purchase up to two additional tickets for $8 per ticket so they can bring their parents. The Bakersfield Dragons Squirts will be on the ice for a first intermission scrimmage as well.

Celebrate Halloween in Condorstown on Saturday with Twilight Night sponsored by 106.1 KRAB Radio. Everyone in attendance will receive their choice of a set of glow in the dark vampire fangs (for Team Edward), or a werewolf tattoo (for Team Jacob). Anyone who dresses up like their favorite Twilight saga character will have a chance to win a pair of tickets to see U2 (at Angels Stadium), as well as a Twilight Movie Poster signed by the cast.
