Pride Night Out at the Keys
Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium, 21 Stadium Drive, Frederick, MD, USWe're going to link up to attend this final Pride event organized by The Frederick Center together! To participate:
- Let us know you're coming.
- Buy Your General Admission Ticket (~$15-$18)
- We'll meet by the Courtyard-side concessions area on game day.
It's a great opportunity to grab a drink and bite, catch up with old friends, and meet new people. Then watch the Keys play ball!
Who are the Keys? A "High-A" Minor League Baseball Team affiliated with the Baltimore Orioles. A "feeder" team of sorts, with many talented players.
Note: While field seating is inexpensive, General Admission tickets make it easier to coordinate group attendance.

Here is more on the promotion from Warehouse Cinema:
...
Get ready to make your Wednesdays absolutely incredible! We're thrilled to announce our brand-new summer promotion that's about to change how you think about movie nights.
Starting May 27th: "Crazy 8s" Every Wednesday! Here's the deal that's almost too good to believe:• $8 Movie Tickets (any show, all day!)
• $8 Food Items (our entire menu!)
• $8 Concessions (yes, everything!)
No fine print. No restrictions. Just $8. We get it – nights out have gotten expensive, and you shouldn't have to choose between great entertainment and staying on budget. That's why we created Crazy 8s: one simple price point for an amazing experience. The best part? This isn't just for moviegoers!~~~
Crazy 8s applies to Warehouse’s full menu, not a limited combo. Every item is $8 every Wednesday, from the chain’s signature popcorn topped with real butter to gourmet grilled cheese, fresh pizzas, shareable appetizers, and the fan-favorite wildberry cheesecake funnel cake fries. One price across the board, snacks and meals alike.
Tappy Hour, Warehouse’s daily half-off bar program, will run all day on Crazy 8s Wednesdays. That means 50 percent off across the entire bar, including pours from the self-serve pour wall, summer-themed cocktails, draft beer, wine by the glass, and spirits.3 attendees
