‼️The Go Nuts for Reading Flying Squirrels pre-game parade and reading recognition has been rescheduled for May 27th.‼️
————————————————————
Additional information from the Flying Squirrels:

I apologize for the late email and want to thank you so much again for your patience and flexibility as we look to celebrate all of the students who participated in our Go Nuts for Reading program! Due to the weather forecast, we will be postponing the pre-game parade to our game on Tuesday, May 27th (6:35pm game, 5:00pm gates open).

We will be offering the students another free ticket for the May 27th game for finishing the reading challenge, and we'll look to send out those tickets to your school later this week (if you'd like to pick up please just let me know!).

Students are still welcome to use their current ticket for tomorrow (May 13th) to come out to the game if they'd like but it will just be a regular game (no parade or reading recognition); and they can follow our socials and website for any weather updates/delays.

For any parents, families, faculty, friends, etc. who purchased tickets for the May 13th game through a FEVO online link, through our website or box office - they can show proof of their ticket purchase to exchange it for a ticket to the May 27th game in-person at our box office or over the phone at 804-359-3866. If your school did a FUNNraising ticket link you will still receive those proceeds.
