A few to-dos in partic that caught our eyes
Richmond Flying Squirrels Season Opening Weekend
Richmond Flying Squirrels season starts on the first weekend of this month, but if you really want to up the family-fun ante all season long, especially consider going to Sunday games. Sunday FUNNday is back, and kids can play catch on the field before the game (from 12:45 to 1:05 this Sunday) and run the bases following the game, too. Enter the field through the field gates at sections 103/104 and 118/119 at the start and line up outside the Squirrels Nest Team Store afterward.
