The Fayetteville SwampDogs are off to a fast start this season, and are providing plenty of excitement on the field. But of course, at J.P. Riddle Stadium the game is not the only exciting thing going on. This week, The Swamp was the place to be for a fun time for all members of the family. On Saturday, May 31, the SwampDogs had their first fireworks extravaganza of the season, as they took on the Columbia Blowfish. Every year, the SwampDogs put on the best fireworks shows in Fayetteville, and this year it is better than ever. You're not going to want to miss these spectacular shows — everyone is sure to be talking about them. The fun continued on Monday, June 2, for Duke Night at The Swamp as the Dogs hosted the Catawba Valley Stars at 7:05 p.m. The first 500 fans in attendance received a free magnet schedule courtesy of Freeman & Barrett, CPAs, and fans wearing Duke attire received special discounts throughout the ballpark. That game was also a "Mug Monday." Fans who purchased a 16 oz. souvenir mug got free entry to the Miller Lite Liberty Lounge, and could fill the mug up for just $1! While enjoying the game from the Lounge, fans enjoyed the $1 burgers and dogs with $2 wine and free popcorn, peanuts and soda. Then on Wednesday, June 4, the Morehead City Marlins come back to town on Home Run Math Club Night presented by Fazoli's, Fascinate-U Children's Museum, Dunkin' Donuts and The Little Gym of Fayetteville. Make sure to make your way out to The Swamp for all this — plus a few surprises. It is sure to be fun for the entire family. Don't forget to register your young ones for the SwampDogs Kid's Camp. From June 23-26, kids ages 5-13 will have four days of hands-on instruction and fun with the SwampDogs players and coaches.
