Description of Event:
The Greenville Swamp Rabbits Hockey team had us out again for their annual Star Wars night at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in downtown Greenville, SC. This has been a great and fun event for many years now and thanks to the continued support from our great group of people, they want to have us come out again next year! They did many different activities again with us like ceremonial Darth Vader and troops puck drop, t-shirt toss, walking the concourse and on the ice pumping up the crowd, and many many photo opps throughout the night including a green screen set up for anyone to get pictures with the 501st. They do a really great job with their events and are structured well enough that we are able to cover all event element needs due to time schedules and direct working relations with our handlers. Speaking of handlers, special thanks go out to Mike, Grayson and Bolt whom where there and helped get our members from concourse to ice and other locations within times needed. Could not have done it without you all! Finally thanks to Megan Dotson and her staff at the Greenville Swamp Rabbits and the Bon Secours Wellness Arena staff for being very hospitable and giving us the large changing room, pizza, plenty of water, and security over the room.
Looking forward to more troops with you all and let's continue to help out the Upstate SC in what we do for the community. Please look out later for information on the Greenville Drive schedule for their Star Wars night as the contact with their team was there last night and wants to host us as well!
