We're also looking for volunteers to help with all aspects of the event.  If you can help in any way, please take a look at our volunteer schedule below, and sign up at your convenience!

Gourmet chefs Jim Otis and Jim Meola run the snack bar, which has an incredible menu. This is not your average snack bar: we have gourmet BBQ pizza, Caesar salad, chicken teriyaki bowls, hamburgers, hotdogs, and new this year, steak sandwiches and pasta. It's a great family event and has built fantastic community spirit. All proceeds go towards the St. Simon athletic department.

Game admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students and seniors. (Children 4 and under are free.)
