Pennsylvania Game Commission and Lancaster Barnstormers Team Up to Support Youth Programs

HARRISBURG, Pa., July 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Lancaster Barnstormers minor league baseball team are hosting a special evening to benefit youth on Tuesday, Aug. 31.  Gates open to the general public at 5:30 p.m., and game time is 6:30 p.m. at Clipper Magazine Stadium, 650 North Prince St., Lancaster. The first 2,000 attendees 16-years-old and younger will receive a special ballcap —fluorescent orange, of course.  

Youth between the ages of 8 and 16 will have a first-come, first-served chance to experience shooting bows and arrows. Those interested in this opportunity should report to the Game Commission information booth, starting at 5 p.m. through 5:25 p.m., in the concourse behind home plate to be escorted to the archery range that will be set up in the outfield. Also, thanks to a donation from Mathews Inc., one right-handed bow will be awarded to one participant.  Doors open at 5 p.m. for those wanting to participate in these activities.

Throughout the game, kids of all ages are invited to use the Game Commission's Laser Shot and BeamHit Systems, which are shooting simulators designed to teach safe and effective shot selection and basic marksmanship fundamentals.

After the game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, special camouflaged autographed jerseys worn by the Barnstormer players during the game will be auctioned off, and many Game Commission fine art prints and other items will be given away, too.

Proceeds from the special ticket sales and auction will go to the Lancaster Federated Sportsmen to support the club's Youth Field Day and Conservation Camp. To learn more about this promotion, and to get tickets, visit the Game Commission website (www.pgc.state.pa.us), click on the Lancaster Barnstormer's logo, and then follow the directions, using "hunter" as the promotion code.

To take advantage of this promotion, field box seat tickets, which cost $10, are available through the Game Commission website, and a limited number of deluxe tickets are available for $44. The price of the deluxe ticket covers seating in a luxury suite with many Game Commission representatives, dinner and non-alcoholic beverages.

The game on Aug. 31 also is "Dollar Dog Night," when hot dogs are only $1.
