Date:
Saturday, April 30 2016
Location:
Five County Stadium, Zebulon, NC
Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
This event started with a 3:00PM Call Time. We were accommodated in one of the large viewing suites, and offered food and drinks from the Mudcats restaurant at no charge. I thought we showed great restraint! Gates opened at 4:00PM and the fans were primed and ready. Response from team, fans and staff was very positive. Red lightsabers were being distributed to all kids, so that was more trouble for our rebel friends that joined us from Blue Ridge Base, than it was for us! Many activities on field, and around the stadium were planned, and the staff did a good job of moving us from place to place and getting everyone where they needed to be. Tons of photos with fans filled in any down time. We dressed down during the eighth inning and were done by 8:00PM. Special thanks to Theresa for excellent photo support.

) So glad the rain held off and it was just cloudy.
I told her I would talk to Lord Vader about it, and then later she came up to Bill and started asking him about it. Then asked him to "dab". THIS IS A DAB-FREE ZONE!
