Community Involvement & Theme Nights
Regardless of genre, there is a night dedicated to just about everything at The Diamond in 2013. From Education Days and Community Nights to bizarre theme nights, jersey auctions and an annual Tribute to the Peanut. New for 2013, the Squirrels will put an emphasis on doubling down on nightly promotions. Many of their 2013 theme nights will also include Fireworks, a giveaway or charitable component.
"This is by far the most comprehensive calendar of activities and themes that we have ever put together," said Flying Squirrels Vice President & COO Todd "Parney" Parnell. "In year four, we wanted to blow people away with our commitment to find new ways to entertain and amaze them. I couldn't be more excited about how those efforts have paid off."
