Quad Cities River Bandits News Release
A correction has been made to vouchers distributed for Credit Unions for Kids Children's Miracle Network Night at the ballpark on Tuesday, August 29. The Swing of the Quad Cities will square off in a battle for the number one position in the Western Division with the Kane County Cougars at 6:30 p.m. not 7 p.m. as the voucher states.
The earlier start time has been arranged by the Swing to accommodate families with young children who are going back to school this week.
Vouchers are redeemable for one general admission/berm seat for Tuesday's game. Upgrades to a box seat will be available for fans with vouchers at the Box Office only for $3. There will be a fireworks show following the game presented by Uncle Norm's Fireworks and J&M Displays Night Majic.

UPCOMING PROMOTIONS: A KWQC/River 104.9 fireworks show will follow the game on Saturday, August 26, while Sunday's contest will be a Mix 96 Family Fun Day.

US Cellular Night at the ballpark will be on Wednesday, August 30, which will also feature the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus.
