Coming off of a thrilling week,
the Fayetteville SwampDogs look
to keep the ball rolling with another
exciting week of baseball. But of
course, at J.P. Riddle Stadium the
game is only part of the excitement.
This week— as always — The
Swamp is the place to be for a fun
time for all members of the family.
It all starts on Wednesday, July
9, as the SwampDogs take on the
Wilmington Sharks at 7:05 p.m. It's
one of the best nights of the year to
come to The Swamp, as the team
hosts its Salute to Tom Hanks.
Come dressed as your favorite
character from Tom Hanks films for
a fun night filled with your favorite
movie quotes as we celebrate the
58th birthday of one of America's
finest actors. As far as fun times at
The Swamp go, this night is sure to
be in a league of its own.
Also don't forget that before
every Wednesday home game, it is a
Wake-Up Wednesday, presented by
Dunkin' Donuts, with SwampDogs
players making appearances at local
locations. Remember, America and the
SwampDogs run on Dunkin' Donuts.
The fun continues on Thursday,
July 10, as the SwampDogs host
the Petersburg Generals at 7:05
p.m. It is first responder's night at
J.P. Riddle Stadium, so come on
out and help us as we acknowledge
first-responder personnel like the
fire, police and emergency medical
service workers and their families.
During that game, the Dogs will
wear special one-of-a-kind pink
jerseys that are up for auction
during the game.
Bidding for the jerseys is open
online, and begins at $75. All of
the proceeds from the auction go
toward the Cape Fear Valley Health
Foundation's Friends of the Cancer
Center. Online bids are accepted
until 4 p.m., on July 10, and then
will resume at J.P. Riddle Stadium
when gates open at 6 p.m. Fans
will have until the final out of the
game to bid in a silent auction for
the jerseys. For more information
about the auction, visit www.
goswampdogs.com.
While you're at The Swamp
enjoying the game, head on over to
the Miller Lite Liberty Lounge and
enjoy $1 beer, burgers and dogs, $2
wine and free popcorn, peanuts and
soda while watching the game from
some of the best seats in the house.
Make sure to make your way out
to The Swamp this week for all
this — plus a few surprises. It is
affordable fun for the entire family.
There isn't a better way to spend
a summer night then listening to
the crack of the bat and sounds of
"Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
