Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
It's Star Wars Night at the "Shark Tank", home of the Wilmington Sharks. We are a summer collegiate ball team that provides a fun family night out in Wilmington NC. This a Lucasfilm approved event.
It was 95 degrees and sunny at game time. Once the sun went below the trees it felt a bit cooler. We did have a large dressing room with A/C and complimentary food and drinks. The team had Star Wars music and sound effects going all night, which really helped the ambiance. The crowd was very enthusiastic and we received so many "thank you"s it was heartwarming. A huge "thanks!" to Audie and Josh for staying at the table the whole time and for Josh and Jewel for taking the terrific pictures. This will become an annual event. We rooted for the home team and they won! Behold, the power of the Dark Side!
