ST. PAUL, MN (August 18, 2011) - Summer is winding down, but important baseball and festive promotions are still on the way as the St. Paul Saints welcome the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks and the Sioux City Explorers for a seven game homestand from August 19-26.

It all gets going with a three-game set against their North Division rivals, the RedHawks from August 19-21. The RedHawks swept the Saints in a three-game series last week and are looking to keep the Saints from going to the playoffs. On August 19 at 7:05 p.m., it is the second to last Friday Night Fireworks presented by Xcel Energy. It is also "Finnegans Irish Amber Night of Good Deeds". All profits made by Finnegans will be donated to charity. Fans in attendance will have a chance to win between $77-$77,777 during St. Croix Casino's Big Money Days.

With each passing summer day we're one step closer to colder temperatures and that's why we're breaking out the scarves and ski goggles on Saturday, August 20 at 7:05 p.m., with "Winter in the Summer" presented by Welch Village Ski and Snowboard Resort. Fans are encouraged to dress for the cold with pullover hats, jackets and even snow boots. Welch Village Ski and Snowboard Resort will give away items to each contestant during the between-innings promotions. Also, study up for Success Saturday's presented by University of Wisconsin - River Falls.

On this S&W Beans and Butter Kernel Family Sunday, every kid gets the opportunity to run the bases and receive autographs from Saints players and coaches following the game.

The Sioux City Explorers come to Midway Stadium for the final four games of the regular season, in what could turn out to be an important Wild Card series, from August 23-26. On Tuesday, August 23 at 7:05 p.m., the series gets going with our "May Madness Giveaway." During the May 24 game Gary Busey was declared the "maddest of the mad" in a bracket-style battle of 64 unique characters. With his victory, the first 1,501 fans in attendance during this game will receive Busey-styles masks. Throughout the ball game we'll take a look back on the "interesting" moments of Gary Busey's career which propelled him to the May Madness victory. Stay connected with TDS Tuesday.

Don't forget to come to the stadium early and get ready for the final craziest tailgate party of the year with Saints players and our friends from Walser Automotive on Walser Wednesday's. Enjoy live music and free hot dogs featuring Grandpa Paul's Barbeque Sauce.

Without players there would be no game of baseball, but who finds the players' Join us as we celebrate scouts and their impact on the game of baseball with "Professional Baseball Scouts Hall of Fame Induction Night" presented by Killebrew Root Beer on Thursday, August 25 at 7:05 p.m. The St. Paul Saints will induct Cincinnati Reds Senior Director of Professional and Global Scouting Terry Reynolds into the fourth class of the Professional Baseball Scouts Hall of Fame (PBSHOF).

Also on this evening, the Saints celebrate one of the best players in the history of the organization, by giving away Duke Snider bobbleheads to the first 1,001 fans. Snider played 66 games for the St. Paul Saints in 1947. Be sure to enjoy our final Thirsty Thursday presented by Old Chicago, where beers are just $1.

On the last home game of the regular season, we would like to thank you, the fans, for coming out each and every game, rain or shine, to support us with "Fan Appreciation Celebration" on Friday, August 26 at 7:05 p.m. We'll celebrate the end of the regular season with extended post-game fireworks presented by Sun Country Airlines.
