SALT LAKE CITY (August 6, 2014) -The Salt Lake Bees kick off a five-game homestand beginning Thursday, August 7 against the El Paso Chihuahuas with promotions that will include giveaways, fireworks, a movie screening and live music.

Fans are encouraged to watch the film on the video board from the outfield grass at Smith's Ballpark.

Friday night will also include a celebration of the beloved Bees mascot Bumble's birthday. Bumble's mascot friends from throughout the state will be on hand to celebrate with Bumble and entertain fans throughout the game.

Saturday will see the return of the popular Dueling Pianos show during the game. The talented musicians will tickle the ivories during the game from the first and third base dugouts and then play postgame with a synchronized fireworks show.

Sunday's game will be followed by the final act of the Bees Summer Concert Series, with the modern country-rock Jason Lugo performing postgame.  

The homestretch also features plenty of giveaways for fans including batting helmets on Thursday night courtesy of Principal Financial Group, a Bees pennant on Friday from ICON Health and Fitness and a team poster on Monday night.
