Bank of the Islands again has stepped up to the plate to support the SanCap Chamber as Homerun Sponsor. Bailey’s General Store sponsors the first-ever Islands’ Night drone presentation.
“We are excited to introduce this year a post-game drone show to one of the SanCap Chamber’s most well-loved traditions,” said chamber president and chief executive officer John Lai. “Islands Night brings together island residents, island businesses, and America’s favorite pastime to celebrate the end of a successful season and triumph over the great strides we’ve made these past years.”
The event begins as the gates open at 5:45 p.m. The night’s entertainment starts at 5:50 with the traditional islanders parade around the field, showcasing businesses and organizations from Sanibel and Captiva islands. At 7:05 p.m., the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels Florida State League baseball team meets the Tampa Tarpons for on-field action.
“Islands Night is a time to bring islanders together for fun, promotion, community support, and camaraderie,” said Lai. “It honors the late Sam Bailey, a former athlete and island pioneer who started the tradition more than 30 years ago.”
