For three days, the Savannah Bananas performed and played at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park in a series against the Savannah Party Animals. Spectators of all ages and from all over the country came daily, filling 10,000 seats each time. Fans were met with a game of "Banana Ball" (a modified version of baseball), singing, dance performances, interactive competitions between fans, and more in the event that left and kept everyone smiling.
