Day 2

IMG_1394-1jvgtsd

I had a very eventful 2nd day with the promo team. I was once again working a game, but today I was more involved rather than just observing. Today the Bulls hosted Bark in the Park, an event where dozens of fans brought their dogs to the game and walked them through the field before the game started. Luckily, I got to hang out on the field and guide the pet owners during the walk so I got to pet some really adorable dogs. My favorite part of today was taking part in one of the races. The team was short handed so they asked me to step in as Annie, a giant, top-heavy, cartoon mascot costume. Not only did Annie give me about 4 feet in height, she was extremely difficult to walk in. I, however, still ran the boundary of the field alongside two other “Bulls’ Racers” in a competitive race to capture a bone. Although I lost the race due to the awkwardness of the costume and my inability to run with it on, the crowd still cheered for me and applauded my 3rd place victory. Following the race, I got to walk through the stands, still dressed as Annie, and take pictures with kids. I really enjoyed my time today and even though it was not easy, I really enjoyed playing Annie for a little while.
