(Portland) - Fans should plan to come early when The Principal Financial Group Family Fun Fest makes a stop at Hadlock Field on Saturday, May 24th when the Portland Sea Dogs take on the New Britain Rock Cats.

ESI's Principal Financial Group Family Fun Fest is an unprecedented, and completely free, celebration of baseball which will be visiting minor league baseball ballparks all across the country during its 5th anniversary season. It is the most extensive traveling baseball festival in history and features more than 20 baseball themed attractions including a minor league baseball museum, the Xbox 360 Best Buy Home Run Derby video game trailer, and a fan festival midway with batting and pitching cages, bungee runs, a huge side-by-side giant slide, baseball bounce houses, and lots more interactive fun for baseball fans of all ages. This year Day Inn is bringing a baseball card attraction where fans can step up to the plate and have their picture taken on their very own baseball card. There's even an exhibit where fans can put themselves on a free souvenir cover of Sports Illustrated Kids Magazine. Plus, donate new or used baseball equipment to "Pitch In For Baseball" and receive a coupon for Xbox 360 software at Best Buy and a special ticket offer from the team.
