Fort Wayne, IN - The Principal Financial Family Fun Fest night with the Wizards has arrived! The event, with more than 20 midway-style attractions, a Minor League Baseball Museum trailer, and a Microsoft Xbox Home Run Derby trailer featuring the Xbox 360 game consoles will be at Memorial Stadium tomorrow for the Wizards game against the Kane County Cougars.

Gates to Memorial Stadium will open at 4:00 p.m., two hours before the normal opening of 6:00 p.m. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to take part in the Principal Financial Family Fun Fest events before the Wizards 7:00 p.m. game. The Fun Fest, which is free to fans, will be open until the conclusion of the second inning.

Following this press release is a fun fact sheet about the Principal Financial Family Fun Fest. The one exception to the notes is the giant inflatable movie screen will not be at Memorial Stadium.

All events for the Principal Financial Family Fun Fest will be located inside Memorial Stadium, not in the parking lot of the Memorial Coliseum.

In addition to the Fun Fest, the game tomorrow night will also feature a peanut-free menu for the first time in franchise history.

The peanut-free menu allows peanut allergic children and other baseball fans, the chance to attend a Wizards game without having to worry about eating anything with peanuts in the ingredients.

Items included on the menu that will not be available are peanuts, M&M's, Snickers, Cracker Jacks, Crunch Bars and Drumsticks. Any item relating to peanuts and treenuts will not be available for purchase before, during or after the game.

Great seats still remain for tomorrow's game with bleacher seats starting at $6.50 each, grandstand seats at $8.00 each and box seats at $9.00 each.
