Saturday is National Pig Day. The Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs team took full advantage of the holiday by building excitement for their first game of the season.
"It is family friendly, the kids love it," Silverdale resident, Tom Biehl said.
Festivities at Coca-Cola Park included face painting, balloons and plenty of food to go around.
While there is a few feet of snow in between the seats and on the field now, team leaders say by opening day it will be cleared.
Betty Duffy of Whitehall can't wait for that day.
"I just love baseball, it is so close and it is so convenient and it is so nice," Duffy said.
Rick Feliciano of Brooklyn was decked out in full Iron Pigs gear, everything from his hat all the way down to his socks.
Opening day is slated for April 9th when the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs take on the Pawtucket Red Sox.
Individual game tickets are now available online.
