Error on Get participants?fields=first_name

I'm making a webservice call to the SKY API to GET the participants for an event. I'm using the fields parameter to tell the function to only return "first_name" fields. When doing so, I'm getting the following error:


[{

"message": "The list field 'first_name' is not valid.",

"

"error_name": "ListFieldNotValid",

"

"error_code": 39,

"

"raw_message": "The list field '{0}' is not valid.",

"

"error_args": ["first_name"]
}]
Here's the call that I'm making:

<a href="https://api.sky.blackbaud.com/event/v1/events/59/participants?fields=first_name" target="_blank">https://api.sky.blackbaud.com/<wbr />event/v1/events/59/<wbr />participants?fields=first_name</a>
Here's a JSON record from when I used fields=name :
{ "name": "Eric Arndt", "first_name": "Eric", "last_name": "Arndt", "class_of": "" },

So, first_name is a valid field. Is it not?
