Both presale and walk-up tickets will be available. Although an annual tradition, this year’s community night surpasses previous events in ambition and scale; organizers estimate that over 500 people will attend, and 20 to 25 vendors will be present. “Our goal is to make it seem like you’re on Main Street in the Southern End,” said Tate Weismandel, account executive for the Barnstormers. “ We want to bring together the southern Lancaster
Dreams activity, where young baseball enthusiasts will have the opportunity to stand with their favorite player on the field during the national anthem. The Barnstormers will also offer free tickets to Solanco and Donegal Little League coaches and players who arrive in uniform. The stadium has several other events lined up following the community night: First responders’ night will be held on Sept. 16, and an event focused on the Solanco Fair is anticipated to take place later in September. “We see where fans are coming from,” said director of marketing Ronnie Ramone. “These are great opportunities for people to come out to the stadium.” Aug. 13 will also coincide with “Pink in the Park” night to raise breast cancer awareness.
