Southern Maryland Blue Crabs News Release


WALDORF, Md. - Earlier this year the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs were named hosts to the 2013 Atlantic League of Professional Baseball's All-Star Game. With that has come months of prepping and planning for the biggest event in Southern Maryland history. The first step in making this a memorable experience, was transforming the game into two days of non-stop fun for everyone. Now the Blue Crabs are excited to share what they have in store with the entire community.

Beginning on Tuesday, July 9 the circus comes to town! As part of the All-Star Celebration presented by Turkey Hill, "Circurious" a 90-minute cirque show will welcome the Atlantic League to the Southern Maryland community. With gates opening at 6:30 p.m., fans will have a chance to mingle with the Blue Crabs and the rest of the Atlantic League All-Stars and team mascots in true circus style - set with singers, dancers, contortionists, aerialists, acrobats and carnival fare. Bobby McKey's Dueling Pianos bar will also provide a musical twist as two pianists show off their talents on the field for the first hour of the celebration. Player introductions and the Freedom Division and Liberty Division managers' speeches will then commence at 7:30 p.m. and wrap-up just in time for "Circurious," which will take the spotlight on a giant stage setup in the infield of the ballpark for an unforgettable performance beginning at 8:00 p.m. The evening will be capped off with a fireworks extravaganza that fans will not soon forget.

The following day, Wednesday, July 10, will pick-up right where Tuesday's fun left off as Regency Furniture Stadium takes host to the Atlantic League All-Star Game presented by The Communities of St. Charles. To start the excitement everyone will be welcomed to join the fun for a pre-game block party presented by Backyard Amusements, which will open to the public at 4:30 p.m. Backyard Amusements will provide clowns, face painters, a dunk tank, inflatables, games and much more for the whole family to enjoy as part of a family-friendly tailgate. In addition "The John Luskey Band" will be performing for patrons listening pleasure throughout the block party and the top two contestants in each age bracket of the Atlantic League All-Star Youth Home Run Derby presented by the Civista Health Foundation will square off to see who will be crowned the youth home run king!

When gates open to the public at 5:30 p.m. the first 2,000 fans will be welcomed to the ballpark with a special commemorative giveaway. National performing acts Myron Noodleman, the Inflatamaniacs and Dave the Horn Guy will also appear throughout the game and guest Comedians from "Color Me Funny", who have delivered four of Baltimore's best comedy showcases, will serve as guest managers during the game. At the conclusion of the game, the Blue Crabs will wrap-up the festivities with the biggest fireworks and laser light show in franchise history as "The Sam Grow Band" plays alongside to cap off the week's events. Atlantic League All-Stars will too take their jerseys right off their backs to be auctioned to fans with proceeds going to the Civista Health Foundation.

The 48-hours of fun will feature something for the whole family, whatever age they may be. Tickets are still available for both events, but going extremely fast.
