Bogeys expand Fan First Experience with new partnership
The Sandhills Bogeys are introducing a new transportation ticket experience for specific games by collaborating with two local businesses.
The Bell Tree Tavern, Sandhills Trolley Company, and the Sandhills Bogeys are teaming up to provide shuttle services with ticket purchase on select dates. Sandhills Trolley will provide a shuttle from The Bell Tree Tavern, located at 155 Northeast Broad Street in Southern Pines, to the Bogey Ballpark at Sandhills Community College.
“This is all part of our Fan First initiative,” said Jay Francis, general manager of the Bogeys. “Partnering with the Bell Tree and Sandhills Trolley Company to enhance our fan experience was a perfect fit.”
“We’re thrilled,” said Sandhills Trolley owner Leanna Allen. “We’re planning entertaining trips to and from Bogeys Ballpark. Ain’t no party like a Sandhills Trolley party!”
In addition to the trolley ticket package, The Bell Tree Tavern will sponsor the new Bell Tree Grill at the ballpark.
“We’re excited to bring our burgers and dogs to fans this year,” said Dan Adams, owner of the Bell Tree. “We want to be the pregame and postgame headquarters for all Bogey fans. The grill and trolley initiatives are just a start.”
The Trolley Ticket package will be available on opening day, Thirsty Thursdays’ promotions and Father’s Day.
Ticket packages are on sale now at sandhillsbogeys.com. Tickets start at just $15.
Opening day for the Bogeys is May 29 against the Yorkville Coconuts, with the first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m.

A Toyota driver traveling on May Street, just past Valley View Road in Southern Pines, swerved Monday afternoon to avoid crashing into a vehicle that was stopped and waiting to turn, according to officials at the scene of the single-vehicle wreck.
The Mazda flipped into a small ditch off the roadway. The car sustained significant damage, leaving its roof nearly flat.
No injuries were reported to the vehicle’s passengers, and no other cars were involved in the wreck, according to officials on the scene.
Responding agencies were Moore County EMS, Southern Pines Fire Department and the N.C. State Highway Patrol.

The N.C. Department of Transportation will begin clearing and grubbing operations on a stretch of Midland Road in Pinehurst this week.
Beginning April 29, crews will conduct selective tree removal ahead of turn lane construction and median crossover removals.
Tree removal work will take place between Airport Road and Grant Street and is expected to last through the week.
Crossover expansions will begin in early to mid-May in preparation for road resurfacing in the coming months.
This is the first of several projects to improve safety and driver efficiency in the area along with improving bike and pedestrian connectivity.
Motorists are reminded to use caution while driving through the project site and watch for signs and flaggers as work progresses.
