BRADENTON – It's Father's Day and whether Dad favors baseball, free beer or all-you-can-eat pancakes, you can get it close by. This weekend, there's the FSL Minor League All-Star Game and a couple of restaurants offering deals sure to get Dad's mouth watering. So, grab the old man and get him out of the house. It's time for a Father's Day Weekend Adventure in Bradenton!
On Saturday night, take dad for a short ride up the road to Dunedin for the 2013 Florida State League All-Star Game. Three members of our local Marauders squad will be among the stars of tomorrow on display at the winter home of the Toronto Blue Jays.
