CLINTON, Iowa (AP) - The minor league baseball park in Clinton,
Iowa, is going peanut-free tonight, so peanut-allergic fans can
enjoy the game.
No peanuts or peanut products will be served during the night
game between the Clinton LumberKings and the Beloit Snappers. The
stadium will be washed down to avoid any risks.
Organizer Christy Campie's 7-year-old son, Eric, has a
life-threatening peanut allergy. She says he's passionate about
baseball and attends the LumberKings' games, but has to be very
cautious.
Campie says the event is being sponsored by two companies that
specialize in manufacturing foods free of all the major food
allergens.
