Baysox General Manager Brian Shallcross has watched the event grow over the years. "Our Free Family FunFest has grown to become a 'can't miss' family activity for our community. We cherish the opportunity to host the free event annually and look forward to seeing everybody on the 28th. Our FunFest event is a great way to kick off a new season of Baysox baseball."
