The cartoon characters Bluey and her sister, Bingo, will be visiting from down under as the animated Australian sensations catch a Fort Myers Mighty Mussels game on April 12.
Bluey and Bingo Night highlights a six-game series against the Tampa Tarpons that runs from April 8-13.
Bluey is an adventurous 6-year-old Blue Heeler, while Bingo is a 4-year-old Red Heeler. Both characters will be positioned along the concourse of Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex to meet fans and pose for photos.
“Bluey is immensely popular right now, so it’s incredible that she found time to travel all the way from Australia to meet her fans in Southwest Florida,” said Managing Partner John Martin. “Since Saturday is also Bark in the Park at Hammond Stadium, Bluey and Bingo will have plenty of canine company that night.”
