JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Families on the First Coast can celebrate Father's Day in FUNdamentally Different fashion at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville June 19, when the Jacksonville Suns host a cookout in the Grillman's Party Plaza and pregame catch on the field for the 3:05 p.m. Baptist Health Sunday Family FUNday game with the Biloxi Shuckers.

Individuals and families may now purchase Father's Day Cookout packages that include reserved seats and the all-you-can-eat buffet in the Grillman's Party Plaza from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 19. The Father's Day celebration at the ballpark will also include a Father's Day Grill Giveaway presented by Channel 4 The Local Station to one lucky fan.
