Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers News Release
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! Weather.com is now calling for a partially cloudy 85-degree Friday. If this holds true, this means FAN FEST is ON before the Friday, June 27th home game with NFL interactive inflatables straight from the Baltimore Ravens. These are the same games you'll find at all the NFL pre-games, and we've got them here, for you, for free. Plus at Fan Fest you'll find food, drinks and interactive booths (check out the Roto-Rooter toilet paper toss). Not to mention the dance team helping to paint faces and Crockett hanging out and entertaining his little (and big) friends. The Fan Fest is 5PM until 7PM.
Friday, June 27th Home Game vs. Richmond: Last time the Pioneers faced the Richmond Speed, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton won 50-49 with a last-minute heart stopping interception by Terrell Johnson in Richmond's end zone. This week, the teams will lock horns at the First Union Arena in front of the home crowd.
For the Fans: Friday is COUPLE'S NIGHT at the arena (but don't think for a minute that the out-of-control excitement will be any more calm). McCarthy Flower Shops are giving away 1,000 flowers for the first ladies through the gates. Also, don't miss the AAA Mid-Atlantic Bahamas Getaway Giveaway â believe it or not, someone is actually walking out of the arena with a free Bahamas vacation that includes airfare and hotel. AND it is ADT night at the arena ... that means a FREE security system to one lucky winner. On top of all that, you'll get to meet some of the contestants for the Ms. Pioneers contest.
Stop by the Arena Box Office or call Ticketmaster at (570) 693-4100 or buy tickets on-line at ticketmaster.com.

Rich's golf Center is donating half of all the money spent by guests between 1-3PM to the Pioneers United Way Charity Fund.
