Flying Pigs Host 2026 Player Welcome Reception with Holt House & Lexington Barbecue

Lexington, NC – May 2, 2026 – The Lexington Flying Pigs are proud to announce a special collaboration between two beloved community partners, The Holt House and Lexington Barbecue, to host the 3rd Annual Player Welcome Reception in 2026, an exciting kickoff event celebrating a new season while honoring the traditions that make Lexington unique.

As the team’s official Hospitality Community Partner, The Holt House will once again provide a stunning and historic setting for this year’s Player Welcome Reception. Known for its Southern charm and deep roots in Lexington history, The Holt House has long been a gathering place for connection and community, making it the perfect venue to welcome Flying Pigs players and their families to town.

Adding to the experience, Lexington Barbecue, returning as the team’s Official Pig Out Sponsor, will provide its signature flavors that have made it a staple in the region since 1962. The combination of great food, historic ambiance, and community spirit will create a memorable evening for players, coaches, and their families.

“This event is all about bringing our players into the Lexington community in a meaningful way from day one,” said Danny Kirkman, Owner of the Lexington Flying Pigs. “The Holt House provides an incredible atmosphere that reflects the history and pride of our town, and having Lexington Barbecue as part of the evening makes it even more special. It’s the perfect way to kick off the season.”

The Player Welcome Reception has quickly become a cornerstone event for the organization, offering players a warm introduction to the community they will represent throughout the summer. It also provides an opportunity for sponsors and community leaders to connect with the team in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

“We’re honored to be part of such a meaningful event for the Flying Pigs,” said Nathan Monk from Lexington Barbecue. “Baseball and barbecue are traditions that bring people together, and we’re proud to help welcome these players to Lexington in a way that feels like home.”

The partnership with Lexington Barbecue continues to extend beyond this event, playing a key role in offering their signature barbecue at home games.

With the 2026 season approaching, the Flying Pigs remain focused on delivering unforgettable experiences both on and off the field, starting with a Player Welcome Reception that truly captures the heart of Lexington.
