The 1st 1,000 fans to enter the ballpark on Wednesday will receive a bobblehead of the popular Boonsboro coach. Wednesdays are also "Kids Eat Free Wednesdays," thanks to Susquehanna Bank. Any child that pays for a full price general admission ticket (just $5) at the ticket office receives a free hot dog, popcorn, soda and candy box!
Thursday is the return of the Suns popular "Thirsty Thursdays," presented by Twigg Cycles and Today's Hottest Country 104.7fm WAYZ. All 12oz domestic draft beers are just $1 all night long. In addition, the Twigg Cycles Calendar Girl search continues, live from the Suns Beer Garden.
Making this Thursday even more special is the celebration of the hot dog's 100th birthday, presented by Esskay Hot Dogs! All hot dogs will also be just $1 all night long, thanks to Esskay, the Suns exclusive provider of hot dogs. Thursday will feature hot dog eating contests, the singing of "Happy Birthday" to the hot dog, the game's first pitch thrown out by the Suns famous Esskay "Hot Dog Man" and a "magic golden ticket" promotion (a la Willy Wonka) where one gold ticket will be hidden inside a hot dog wrapper giving the lucky winner free hot dogs for the rest of the year inside Municipal Stadium. Game time on Thursday is 7:05pm.
