The Crawdads will have a pair of appearances stop by the Frans. Dakota and Friends with Ed’s Dinosaurs Live will be in town on May 18th, turning the ballpark into a prehistoric time with a variety of dinosaur guests.

Some popular theme nights are back on the schedule this season. Princess Night, by Sonrise Travel, Bark in the Park, Star Wars Night, Beach Night, and Christmas in July will all be celebrated during the year. The Night of Horrible Promotions, which has been named the South Atlantic League’s Promotion of the Year in back-to-back seasons, is set for a September date.

A few new promotions on the schedule include Winter Fest (a day dedicated to winter fun), Wacky Tacky Wednesday (celebrating all things weird and kitschy), TV Sitcom Night (a laugh track will be provided), Crawdad Games (our on-field contestants will be going for gold), and Mythology Madness (cannot confirm if a centaur will be on site).

The Crawdads will host a trio of appreciation weeks during the year.
