CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION
The Hartford Yard Goats are teaming up with The Hartford to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the company’s Junior Fire Marshal Program. The Junior Fire Marshal program takes life-saving lessons and makes them fun for kids to learn about fire safety. This season, kids of all ages will celebrate 75 years of this live-saving initiative in fun, interactive ways. Fans will have the chance to win a grand prize by finding the Golden Ticket, when purchasing ice cream in a red Junior Fire Marshal helmet. Kids will participate in an on-field contest, racing to dress as a firefighter. When a Yard Goats player crosses home plate and is called "Safe at Home", all kids will leave with a red Junior Fire Marshal helmet. And on September 11th, newly minted Junior Fire Marshals will take the field at Dunkin' Donuts Park before the final game of the season!
Golden Ticket Contest
Fans at every Yard Goats home game will have the opportunity to find the "Golden Ticket" attached to a red Junior Fire Marshal branded ice cream helmet. Once each home stand, a lucky fan will win 4 tickets on an upcoming game and the chance to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the game. All winners will be entered into a grand prize drawing to attend a Fantasy Day at Dunkin' Donuts Park, taking batting practice on the field. All you have to do is purchase an ice cream in the red Junior Fire Marshal branded ice cream helmet, and look to see if there is a golden ticket attached.
There is no purchase necessary to win the grand prize. If you are not purchasing ice cream, simply visit Guest Services on the main concourse at Dunkin' Donuts Park, and request a ticket. A winner will be drawn September 8th; winners will be notified via email and phone.
Junior Fire Marshal Race
At every Yard Goats home game, two children will race to dress as firefighters on field before the home crowd. Drawing attention in a fun and exciting way to the Junior Fire Marshal program!
Safe at Home
When the first Yard Goats player crosses home plate at every home game, and is officially "Safe at Home", children in attendance will receive a Junior Fire Marshal helmet when exiting.
The Hartford Junior Fire Marshal Day
Join us on Sunday, September 11th, for The Hartford Junior Fire Marshal Day at Dunkin' Donuts Park. All kids in attendance will receive a Junior Fire Marshal helmet, and several children will be sworn in as Junior Fire Marshals on the field before the game!
