Hootie was recently invited to fly all the way to Whiting, Indiana, to attend Dave Raymond’s Mascot Boot Camp and appear at the Mascot Hall of Fame! 🎉 Dave Raymond, the original Philly Phanatic, is known as “The Father of Modern Mascotting” and is a co-founder of The Hall of Fame, a non-profit interactive children’s S.T.E.A.M. museum dedicated to the education and appreciation of mascots across all sports. This invitation is nothing short of an honor. After 3 days of training alongside classmates from major and minor leagues, he was even able to certify Hootie in Fun! 🎉 Be sure to catch Hootie in ABC Nightline News’ national documentary covering the boot camp (air date TBD), and remember to VOTE every day until the 21st for Hootie to win the 2023 Mascot Hall of Fame Awards - link in bio #HootieOnTheRoad #HootieTheHustlinOwl #HootiesHooligans #MHOFAwards @mascothall @abcnews @kobitvnbc5 @heraldandnews @cityofwhiting @925klad @cityofklamathfalls @oregontechowls @oregontechalumni @oregontechportlandmetro
