It was awkward, uncomfortable, and some of us didn't have a date. Don't worry we're giving you another opportunity during our Second Chance Prom Night presented by Pillbox Bat Co. Put on your best gown or nicest tux, ask that person you've always wanted to have that one dance with and enjoy the moment from your teen years you wish you could rewrite. Go all out and rent the limo, buy the corsage, and enjoy a Night Under the Stars. If you're not going to dress up for prom, then throw on that flowery shirt for Treasure Island Resort and Casino Saturday.

Sunday, July 28 vs. Kansas City T-Bones, 7:05 p.m. - Monument Pork Night (first 1,500 fans receive a Great Hambino and Brat Favre dual bobblehead giveaway)

The tradition started a year ago when we inducted three pigs into Monument Pork. This year, two of our favorites get the honorary treatment as the Great Hambino and Brat Favre are enshrined. In 1998 the Great Hambino came into our lives, sauntering to the plate and calling his shot. He started out as a real mudslinger on the mound, making a name for himself as a pitcher for the Boarston Red Sox. His unique hoof-trot to the plate also became a staple. The Hambino displayed so much power that his four legs became too expensive to keep around. Harry Frazee sold him to the New York Yankees in 1919. It was in the Bronx that the Hambino was dubbed the "Sultan of Snout". He clobbered 659 home runs there and was part of seven World Series championships. In 2010, Brat Favre ambled into CHS Field and despite making his name in the neighboring state of Wisconsin for 15 seasons, Favre made his to way to Minnesota. The old gunslinger was able to flick the baseballs to the home plate umpire from 60 yards away, dropping it right into their satchel. He was a superstar for one season before fading right before season two and walking off into the sunset. The first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive a double bobblehead of the two swines. Following the game kids run the bases and get team autographs on Cub Family Sunday.

Monday, July 29 vs. Kansas City T-Bones, 7:05 p.m. - Free Ice Cream presented by Thelma's Treats

I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream. Whether it's vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, rocky road, with sprinkles, whipped cream, nuts or chocolate fudge we can all agree that Free Ice Cream day presented by Thelma's Treats is the best day of the year. After all that sugar you'll be racing around on Metropolitan State University Gotta Go Monday.

The season is winding down, with just two homestands remaining after this, but fear not as we get you hyped for the home stretch. We'll give you a taste of Minnesota Nice, but make sure you're clear on our messaging. It's not PUN is Good, it's FUN is Good. With a little Luck of the Irish the Saints will make another push towards the playoffs because there are no second chances this year. It's six days that will leave you in Hog Heaven from July 24-29.
