The Swamp Rabbits will also be hosting a Craft Beer festival prior to the game. Fans 21 and older can enjoy a pre-game event with craft beer tastings from local and regional breweries in the Upstate, food pairings and a Swamp Rabbits souvenir from the event.
“The community is vitally important to all who live here and we are proud and excited to partner with Fluor to recognize and honor the individuals and businesses that make our area great,” said Swamp Rabbits President and General Manager, Chris Lewis. “This game provides a tremendous platform to express the admiration we have for the people and entities that make not only Greenville, but the Upstate, such a tremendous place to live and we are excited to be able to celebrate our community with our fans and partners.”
“Greenville and the Upstate continue to reflect the hard work and talented people that reside here,” said Augustus Dicks, Finance Manager at Fluor. “It’s critical for us as proud Greenville businesses and residents alike, to celebrate Greenville and its people whenever we can. We are thrilled about the opportunity to do just this with the Swamp Rabbits.”
Before the game, the Swamp Rabbits will be hosting a book drive to help support the Greenville Literacy Association.
