It was STOP-DWI Night at the Ballpark on Thursday night, before the Muckdogs vs. Jamestown Tarp Skunks game.
The first 100 kids received a T-shirt or Muck Bucks for purchases at the ball park and there were also several other giveaways and prizes, including the Grand Prize, a youth bike from Adam Miller Toy and Bicycle. Kids participated in interactive educational displays at several sponsor booths.
Detective Matthew Wojtaszczyk with the Batavia Police Department tossed the first pitch along with Dr. Ross Fanara, who turned 80 years old today.
Wojtaszczyk is a trained DRE(Drug Recognition Expert) and assists fellow officers who are investigating individuals suspected of driving while impaired. He is active in community outreach events and as a patrol officer he was very active in DWI Enforcement, and awarded the Genesee County STOP-DWI “Top Cop Award” in 2016.
The Genesee Chorale presented the national anthem to the large crowd on hand for tonight’s baseball game.
Here are a few photos from the event before the game.
