Raccoon, skunk to get married at Dutchess County ballpark this summer

Move over, Travis and Taylor. Dutchess County’s own high-profile couple – a raccoon and a skunk – will be getting married at Heritage Financial Park this summer.
The 30th anniversary of the Hudson Valley Renegades baseball season will be marked by the nuptials of two of the Hudson Valley’s wildest residents – the team’s beloved raccoon mascot Rascal to his girlfriend Rosie, a skunk, after just a year of dating.
“We are so thrilled that Rascal and Rosie are taking a walk down the aisle at Heritage Financial Park this season,” said Zach Betkowski, General Manager of the Renegades. “Having witnessed their flirtation and the beginning of their relationship at the ballpark throughout the 2023 season, we are so glad that they have chosen to host their ceremony at the place that has meant so much to their relationship.”
The raccoon and skunk will tie the knot on July 20 before the Renegades take on the Rome Emperors. But before the Big Day, there will be, of course, a bachelor and bachelorette party on June 13.
