Miners announce movie nights, fireworks and more
AUGUSTA — The Sussex County Miners, New Jersey’s newest independent professional baseball team, has announced their official promotional schedule for the team’s inaugural season, running now through Labor Day.
The Sussex County Miners have a lineup of fun for the whole family this summer. Every day of the week will be special — starting with Family Fun Sundays, when kids are allowed to run the bases on the field and take photos after the game.
Every Wednesday, kids under 12 are allowed into games for free.
On Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, there are special deals at the concession stands on food and drinks.
Every Friday night — even when there are no games — the Miners will hold Movie Night Fridays. And on Saturdays after home games, there will be fireworks.
To celebrate Independence Day, the Miners will host an extra dazzling fireworks display following the July 2 home game versus Trois-Rivieres Aigles (the team will be travelling on July 4). First pitch is at 7:05 p.m. and gates open at 6 p.m. All events will be held at Skylands Stadium, located at 94 Championship Place, Augusta.
Here are this year’s fun days and special deals:
Family Fun Sunday: Kids run the bases after the game and families can get their family picture taken on the field after the game.
Munchy Monday: Discounted prices on food and drinks at the concession stands. (Deal changes every week.)
Two for Tuesday: Two-for-one deals on food and drinks at the concession stands. (Deal changes every week.)
Kids Go Free Wednesday: Kids under 12 get in free (deal only available at the box office)
Cheap Cheap Thursday: $2 draft beer, $2 sodas, $2 hot dogs, $2 fries
Movie Night Friday: A movie will be shown on the videoboard ever Friday night (even when the Miners are not at home). When the Miners are at home, the movie will follow the ballgame.
Fireworks Saturday: Fireworks following every Saturday home game (also fireworks on July 2)
Other special events during the season include: a Boy Scout Sleepover on June 27 and a Girl Scouts Sleepover on July 17. Hometown Heroes Night is on July 7. Christmas in July is on July 20. Pink in the Park Night is Aug. 29, and Fan Appreciation Day is Sept. 6.
