Greetings! CLEARWATER THRESHERS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

The Clearwater Threshers are pleased to host Country Night on August 5, 2011 which will feature a post-game concert by recording artist Chase Rice. The performance will begin after the Threshers play a 6:30 p.m. contest against Tampa Yankees at Bright House Field.

Chase Rice released a full length album titled Friday Night and Sunday Mornings in 2009 and Country as Me earlier this year which features his top hit, “Buzz Back”. He is a young, up-and-coming artist who is gaining prominence in the Nashville, Tenn. area. Fans may already be familiar with Rice who was on the cast of Survivor: Nicaragua in 2010 and placed second on the CBS program.

There will be a mechanical bull at the ballpark and fans can enter in various bull-riding contests for prizes. Also, the first 100 fans 21 and over will receive a free 17 oz. cowboy boot mug which can be used to for a $2 draft beer special all night long! For other fans, 100 cowboy hats will be available at the gates.

Landshark, Wild Turkey, and Jeremiah Weed will all be $3 all night and there will be a special appearance by Miss Rodeo Florida Sammie Roberts!

Be sure not to miss out on all the festivities and dress in your best country gear to purchase two-for-one tickets! Gates are set to open at 5:30 p.m.

Just as we did last year, the Clearwater Threshers will send your kid back to school in style with an awesome Threshers backpack filled with school supplies, sponsored by the St. Petersburg Times. The first 250 kids through the gates will receive the bag as the gates are set to open at noon this Sunday, August 7.

Don’t forget that all kids also receive a free food voucher with the purchase of a regular ticket! The Threshers will play a 1 p.m. game against the Daytona Cubs.

The most popular Feeding Frenzy of the season is set for Monday, August 8 as Wing Fest returns to Bright House Field. For just $12, you receive a ticket and an all-you-can-eat menu from 6-9 p.m., or while supplies last. Not only will fans be able to sample the best wings in Pinellas County, but there will be a vote for the best hot wing and best original sauce.

Restaurants expected to attend are:

• Mugs On Missouri
