Bark in the Park with the Trenton Thunder

TRENTON, N.J. - The Trenton Thunder, the Double-A Affiliate of the New York Yankees, have announced that the game on May 31 against Altoona will be "Bark at the Park" Day presented by Dogs & Cats Rule.

All well-behaved dogs will be admitted into Waterfront Park for free provided their owner purchases a regularly priced ticket to one of the Pavilion Sections. Season Ticket holders will be allowed to stay in their seats if they wish to bring their dog.

In addition to allowing dogs into the stadium, there will be a "Canine Cash Scramble" on the field after the game. The Canine Cash Scramble will give one lucky fan and their dog the opportunity to go out on the field for a chance to win $10,000. The contest will involve the dog attempting to choose the "Lucky Ball" out of one hundred numbered tennis balls that will be spread out on the infield grass.

Fans interested in participating in the Canine Cash Scramble must go to Dogs and Cats Rule in Newtown, PA or Pennington, NJ to register for the event. No purchase is necessary to enter the contest. Registration for the event will begin March 15 and will end on May 15.

Another feature of "Bark at the Park" will be a Pet Products Display on the main concourse throughout the game. There will be displays from at least ten different dog product vendors for fans to browse.

The "Bark at the Park" festivities will also feature an online photo gallery. Fans are encouraged to submit pictures of their dogs wearing Thunder or Yankee apparel. Submissions to the "Dogs of Thunder" gallery will be posted on the Thunder website for the 2009 season and each response will be entered to win four free tickets to "Bark at the Park". The contest will begin on March 15 and will conclude on May 15. Photos should be submitted to jhurley@trentonthun der.com and will be posted on the website within three days of receipt.

Leashes are required on the dogs at all times and the Thunder reserve the right to remove a dog from the stadium if it is not well behaved. Also, a grassed area will be roped off outside of the first base gates for dogs to do their business.

Dogs and Cats Rule opened in September 2001 in Newtown, PA and its second location was opened in June 2005 at the Hopewell Crossing Center in Pennington, NJ.
