Eastern League
Harrisburg will again see the rockets' red glare this summer over Commerce Bank Park. The Harrisburg Senators today announced their Friday-night promotional schedule, featuring fireworks shows presented by WINK 104 following each Friday home game during the 2008 season. The schedule also includes an event which allows fans to live out their game-show fantasies... sort of.
Fireworks shows have dazzled the fans in Harrisburg for years and they promise to be better than ever in 2008. Fireworks will light up City Island with vivid colors after all eleven Friday-night games this season.
On August 8, fans can make like a game-show contestant and drive home as the proud new owner of a brand... uh... USED car! It's part of Used Car Night presented by CBS21, when the Senators plan to give away nine used cars - one each inning. Every car WILL run... we promise!
On April 4, the first 1,000 adults aged 13 and over can warm up with fleece stadium blankets from Commerce Bank and CBS21. The first 2,000 adults through the gates on July 11 are entitled to tote bags courtesy of BELCO Community Credit Union. Fans can bring the Senators to their next card night with playing cards, compliments of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber on July 25.
