WEEKEND SLATE FEATURES GRILL BRUSH GIVEAWAY & SOCK MONKEY NIGHT

1819 On Tap 2 7

ROCKFORD, Ill. ā€“ The Rockford IceHogs hit the heart of their six-game homestand this weekend when they host the Tucson Roadrunners for the first time in team history on Friday and Saturday night. Fridayā€™s promo slate features an IceHogs grill brush giveaway, courtesy of Bud Light, while Saturday is Sock Monkey night presented by Midway Village Museum. However, the sock monkey giveaway that was slated for Saturday has been postponed due to complications with the itemā€™s shipping.

Instead of picking up a sock monkey in-person at the game on Saturday, the first 1,000 fans in attendance will now receive a free IceHogs rally towel. When the full shipment of sock monkeys arrives, those fans can simply show their rally towel at the fan zone at a future IceHogs game or at the BMO Box Office to receive their free sock monkey.
