The 20th Annual Baseball Festival continues through Sunday at Jones Park in Fort Atkinson.
The event, sponsored by Subway and organized by the Fort Atkinson Generals, kicked off Thursday night with baseball games, a carnival, music and a wide variety of food and cold drinks.
Baseball Fest concludes Sunday with carnival activities running until 5 p.m.
The Fort Atkinson Generals will be operating their concession stand throughout Baseball Fest, offering hamburgers, brats, hot dogs, popcorn, chips, peanuts, nachos, candy and frozen treats. Cold drinks, including beer, soft drinks and water will also be available. Anyone who chooses to drink alcohol will be required to show an I.D. and purchase a wristband for $1. Proceeds from wristband sales directly benefit local volunteers and organizations, information released by the organizers stated.
In addition to the Generals’ concession stand, Big Ass Wraps will return to Baseball Fest. The food truck has a diverse menu of wraps and sides. Frostie Freeze will also have a stand open at the park, serving ice cream and other cold treats. Kids can also visit the Painted Faces booth and enjoy creative face painting art.
A complete schedule of activities is available at www.FortGenerals.com and www.Facebook.com/FortGenerals.
