Fireworks, Cowboy Monkey Rodeo, "Grilled Stickies" on Tap for Spikes Fans

August 7, 2019 - New York-Penn League (NYPL)
State College Spikes News Release


(STATE COLLEGE, Pa.) - The State College Spikes return home for a three-game series at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park from Thursday to Saturday featuring some of the biggest promotions of the 2019 home slate, including the return of the Cowboy Monkey Rodeo, back-to-back FIREWORKS shows, a special transformation into the Happy Valley Grilled Stickies with an associated Jersey Auction, the return of Ladies Night, and more special events.

The Spikes will take on the Batavia Muckdogs (Miami Marlins) at each of the three games in the homestand, with every matchup set to start at 7:05 p.m.

Saturday, fans can look forward to another appearance from Tim "Wild Thang" Lepard and Team GhostRiders with the Cowboy Monkey Rodeo. The one-of-a-kind act featuring monkeys riding dogs herding rams has been a staple of Spikes entertainment for several years and will entertain fans throughout the evening, capped off by the grand finale performance after the game.

The skies over Happy Valley will also light up on consecutive nights with a spectacular FIREWORKS show presented by The Meadows after Friday's game, followed by another presented by Local PA Dairy Farmers following Saturday's game.

Friday night, the Spikes will pay homage to a world-famous dessert option when they change identities for the night and play as the "Happy Valley Grilled Stickies," the tastiest team in the world. The Grilled Stickies jerseys will pack plenty of flavor, with a logo celebrating the decades-long pairing of Grilled Stickies with Berkey Creamery Ice Cream.

Fans will also be able to make the night even sweeter by bidding on the jerseys in a Jersey-off-the-Back Auction presented by PSECU to benefit Children's Miracle Network, with all bidding to take place on the LiveSource mobile app. Every Grilled Stickies jersey is now available for bidding through the end of the sixth inning on Friday.

In addition, Friday will be Call 811 Night at the ballpark presented by PA One Call, serving to highlight the importance of calling 811 before you dig in Pennsylvania. Fans will be encouraged to make the call throughout the homestand as well with special in-game features.

Friday also includes a Myrtle Beach Trip Giveaway, as fans can sign up for a fantastic vacation getaway at the VisitMyrtleBeach.com table throughout Thursday and Friday's games. Fans can also enjoy Scout Night and Penns Valley Community Night, featuring a FREE Kids Zone presented by Friends of Jake Corman, on Friday night.

The homestand begins with Ladies Night, featuring a Confer's Jewelers Gift Card Giveaway Extravaganza with the chance to win a piece of $1,000 in gift cards, on Thursday night. Plus, it's a Thirsty Thursday, presented by BIG Froggy 101.1, with fans of age able to enjoy $1 12-oz. domestic draft beers from 6-8 p.m., as well as $2 16-oz. domestic cans and $2 Otto's Apricot Wheat 12-oz. drafts, also available from 6-8 p.m.
