COVINGTON, Va. (VR) - Thursday, June 18, Thirsty Thursday returns to the Jack Shack as the Covington Lumberjacks host a full night of baseball, community, and promotions. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
Olde Town Covington is bringing the full effort for the night, highlighted by unheard-of $1 beer and soda specials throughout the ballpark. Fans are encouraged to arrive early, grab a seat, and kick off the weekend a day ahead of schedule while supporting the Jacks.
With the summer heat settling in, it appears it may finally be getting to Kester—pushing him to bring this special Thirsty Thursday promotion to the ballpark to help fans cool off and enjoy a midweek night out under the lights.
Hall of Fame sponsor Covington Moose Lodge No. 610 will be featured throughout the evening, with members invited to stick around after the game for a special meet-and-greet with the players.
Adding to the night, Pour Mare will be on-site with the ladies offering coffees and refreshers for fans throughout the game, giving a mix of cold drinks, hot coffee, and everything in between.
Between the $1 specials, community involvement, and a packed summer crowd expected, Thirsty Thursday is set to be one of the most energetic nights of the season at the Jack Shack as Covington looks to defend home turf and chase a win.
