Families can enjoy a buffet in the Budweiser Champions Club and post-game catch on the field June 21

DAVENPORT, Iowa (June 5, 2015) - Families in the Quad Cities will have a unique way to celebrate Father's Day at Modern Woodmen Park on June 21, when the Quad Cities River Bandits host their fourth annual Father's Day Cookout in the Budweiser Champions Club and a post-game catch in the outfield for the 1:15 p.m. Family Sunday game against the Burlington Bees.

Individuals and families can now purchase ticket packages that include a game ticket and the all-you-can-eat buffet in the Budweiser Champions Club that will take place from 12:45 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. on Sunday, June 21. The fun-filled day at Modern Woodmen Park will also feature the River Bandits' second annual Mega Mini Fridge Giveaway presented by Budweiser and 7G Distributing, with nine being given away - one for each inning. The River Bandits will also award their two annual Bandit Scholarships to Quad Cities-area students during the game.

"This fun and affordable Father's Day Cookout package offers families a special way to celebrate fathers and give Dad a memorable afternoon - and maybe a new mini-fridge! - at Modern Woodmen Park," said River Bandits owner Dave Heller. "On this special day, families can enjoy a gorgeous venue, great hospitality, terrific food, and affordable family-friendly entertainment, while we help Dad feel like a king on Father's Day."

Reservations must be made by Wednesday, June 17, for the package, which includes the cookout and admission to the River Bandits' 1:15 p.m. game. Tickets are $20 for each adult and $10 for each child age 10 and younger (children three and under receive free admission). The cookout menu features all-you-can-eat hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, chips, cookies, lemonade and water, as well as a cash bar. Participants are welcome to enjoy the game from the Modern Woodmen Berm in left field or from the Budweiser Champions Club - a climate-controlled environment with large glass windows that offer spectacular views of the ballpark, downtown Davenport, the Centennial Bridge and the Mississippi River.

"The Father's Day Cookout is a great tradition among our year-round special events at Modern Woodmen Park," said General Manager Andrew Chesser. "We again look forward to hosting families in the Quad Cities region for a fantastic Father's Day celebration with the cookout and a promotion-packed River Bandits game."

As part of another Family Sunday presented by B100 and ESPN 93.5, fans can receive player autographs on the field from 12:30 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. Fans can also bring their dogs for Bark in the Park. Following the game, children can enjoy Kids Run the Bases presented by Prairie Farms, and there will be the special Father's Day catch in the outfield.
