Location:
Burlington Athletic Stadium, Burlington NC

Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
The Burlington Royals, a minor league baseball team, attempted to have their first ever Star Wars night. Players were to wear specialty jerseys with Darth Vader on the front and Emperor Palpatine on the back. Jerseys were to be auctioned off for the Autism Society of North Carolina. The Carolina Garrison came out in force with three TKs, an officer, and a Tusken Raider. Unfortunately, about 30 to 45 minutes into the troop, before the first pitch, the skies opened up and a torrential downpour came and put a stop to everything. The game was eventually called off and there is a tentative plan to reschedule the Star Wars promotion.

Did this event support a charity? If yes, which charity:
It would have and still might if the promotion is held another day.

Event Length:
45 minutes

Carolina Garrison Troopers in Attendance:
1. Tim J - TK
2. Mark S - TK
3. Curtis - DZ
4. Kat - ID
5. Seth B - TK

Handlers:
1. Gene Sinclair

I've got more pictures on my Photobucket Album, link below. We might not have been able to see a baseball game but we did get to troop for a while.
