First 25 fans to place orders can have the River Bandits mascot deliver a Valentine on February 11, 12, or 13
DAVENPORT, Iowa (Jan. 22, 2015) - With another baseball spring training just a few short weeks away, Rascal the River Bandit, the friendliest raccoon in baseball, is warming up for his annual set of Valentine deliveries to spread joy around the Quad Cities. For the sixth year in a row, the River Bandits mascot will once again deliver Valentines for the first 25 people to order one of Rascal's Sweetheart Special packages that celebrate Valentine's Day the River Bandits way.
For just $35, Rascal will paw-deliver a personalized card and any of three unique packages between 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11, Thursday, Feb. 12, or Friday, Feb. 13, to the workplace or residence of a special someone within a 25-mile radius from Modern Woodmen Park.
"Rascal's Sweetheart Special brings a smile and surprise to a loved one's Valentine's Day, and Rascal's delivery will make it memorable!" said River Bandits co-owner Dave Heller. "Along with a great Valentine's Day gift, you also get to look forward to the excitement of a River Bandits game come summer."
The Sweetheart Special comes in the following three packages, each of which is $35:
River Bandits Romeo: A River Bandits logo baseball, pennant and two Lower Box Seat Vouchers to any 2015 River Bandits home game.
Bandit Beauty: A box of chocolates and two Lower Box Seat Vouchers to any 2015 River Bandits home game.
Lil' Cupid: A package of candy and a 2015 Kids Club membership, including a free ticket for a child 14 or younger to all 2015 River Bandits home games.
"These packages are unique ways to show those special people how much they mean to you," said River Bandits General Manager Andrew Chesser. "Rascal will have a fun and full schedule to celebrate Valentine's Day, so this opportunity is not one to miss!"

ABOUT THE BANDITS: The River Bandits ownership in 2014 made one of the biggest improvements to Modern Woodmen Park since the ballpark was first built back in 1931! A new Ferris wheel, standing 105 feet over the playing field, opened May 24, Space Camp opened June 20; the new Drop'N Twist debuted in July; and the newly expanded 300-foot long zip line also reopened.
