Score limited-edition, locally inspired bobbleheads at upcoming Akron RubberDucks games in celebration of Akron’s bicentennial. Arrive at Canal Park early July 5 — the first 1,000 fans receive a bobblehead of Akron native astronaut Judith Resnik, who blazed a trail for female space exploration. “Resnik is an extremely important figure in Akron history and one of Akron Public Schools’ community learning centers is named in her honor,” says media relations manager Jimmy Farmer via an email. On Aug. 23, the first 1,000 fans take home a Rita Dove bobblehead — also an Akron native, Dove is the first African American poet laureate of the United States.
