This week— as always — The Swamp is the place to be for a fun time for all members of the family.

It all starts on Wednesday, July 9, as the SwampDogs take on the Wilmington Sharks at 7:05 p.m. It’s one of the best nights of the year to come to The Swamp, as the team hosts its Salute to Tom Hanks.

Come dressed as your favorite character from Tom Hanks films for a fun night filled with your favorite movie quotes as we celebrate the 58th birthday of one of America’s finest actors. As far as fun times at The Swamp go, this night is sure to be in a league of its own.

Also don’t forget that before every Wednesday home game, it is a Wake-Up Wednesday, presented by Dunkin’ Donuts, with SwampDogs players making appearances at local locations. Remember, America and the SwampDogs run on Dunkin’ Donuts.

The fun continues on Thursday, July 10, as the SwampDogs host the Petersburg Generals at 7:05 p.m. It is first responder’s night at J.P. Riddle Stadium, so come on out and help us as we acknowledge first-responder personnel like the fire, police and emergency medical service workers and their families.

During that game, the Dogs will wear special one-of-a-kind pink jerseys that are up for auction during the game.

Bidding for the jerseys is open online, and begins at $75. All of the proceeds from the auction go toward the Cape Fear Valley Health Foundation’s Friends of the Cancer Center. Online bids are accepted until 4 p.m., on July 10, and then will resume at J.P. Riddle Stadium when gates open at 6 p.m. Fans will have until the final out of the game to bid in a silent auction for the jerseys. For more information about the auction, visit www.goswampdogs.com.

While you’re at The Swamp enjoying the game, head on over to the Miller Lite Liberty Lounge and enjoy $1 beer, burgers and dogs, $2 wine and free popcorn, peanuts and soda while watching the game from some of the best seats in the house.

Make sure to make your way out to The Swamp this week for all this — plus a few surprises. It is affordable fun for the entire family. There isn’t a better way to spend a summer night then listening to the crack of the bat and sounds of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”
