The Fayetteville Woodpeckers are continuing to expand the team ahead of the 2024 season, announcing the addition of three new members to the front office staff. Pete Subsara returns to the Woodpeckers as Assistant General Manager, Shari Nicklow is the new Community Relations Manager, and Max Chambers is the Box Office Manager.
Subsara returns to Fayetteville where he served as Assistant General Manager from 2019-2022 and played an important role in the development and unveiling of the Woodpeckers brand during the 2019 inaugural season. Following that 2019 season, the Woodpeckers were also honored by the Carolina League with the Patriot Award, given to the organization that shows outstanding support of the United States Armed Forces and veterans both at the ballpark and in the community. He was named to the Fayetteville Observers 40 under 40 list in 2022 and spent the last two years working in Major League Baseball with the Washington Nationals as Senior Manager of Game Presentation.
Nicklow has worked in customer service over the last ten years and started with the Woodpeckers last season as a retail staff member in The Birds’ Nest Team Store. She was promoted to retail supervisor and then to Community Relations Manager where she will lead all Woodpeckers community initiatives inside and outside of Segra Stadium. Shari is originally from Stanley, Wisconsin and graduated from Post University in Waterbury, Connecticut in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in communication and media studies.
Chambers is originally from Knightdale, North Carolina and graduated locally at Methodist University with a bachelor’s degree in sports management and a minor in business administration. He previously interned with the Carolina Mudcats in the Carolina League and the Terre Haute Rex in the Prospect League, plus worked for Fanatics in association with the Carolina Panthers as a retail associate in the summer of 2023. Max also played college basketball at Barton College and Methodist, covering the low post as a power forward and center that could also shoot the three.

Big T’s has been a local favorite of Hope Mills since 2000 when Timmy (Big T) and Donna Gray first opened right on Hope Mills Lake. It is a seasonal restaurant, so many of Big T’s loyal customers were happy to hear they would now be open year-round, seven days a week.
