Traverse City Beach Bums News Release


WUERFEL PARK Get those jaws ready as the Traverse City Beach Bums are giving Northern Michigan a chance to set a World Record right in our very own community. Prior to the team's game on Friday July 31st, the Beach Bums will ask fans to help set a new record for the most bubble gum bubbles blown at the same time.

The Beach Bums take on Lake Erie at 7:05pm that night. In addition to the world record bubble gum blowing attempt, the evening will be capped by a fantastic fireworks show.

Upon entering Wuerfel Park, fans will receive a complimentary piece of bubble game. Then at approximately 6:30pm, fans will be asked to blow their bubbles simultaneously in an effort to set the new record. The current record is 737 set in September 2014 at a nightclub in Spain.

The Beach Bums are 31-18 and are currently second in the East Division.

The Beach Bums return to action at Wuerfel Park this weekend for a series against the Florence Freedom. Friday July 17th is another FANtastic Fireworks show following the 7:05pm game.
