Van, the Mascots and the Cheerleaders

People frequently seek out mascots and cheerleaders so they can have their picture taken with them, but I’ve been flattered that a number of them have wanted to get their picture taken with me! Haven’t quite decided if that’s a high compliment or a little bit sick, but I’m going with the former.

It was fun to hang out with the mascots of the Iowa Wolves, the Des Moines Menace and the Iowa Cubs at an event where we were raising money for the Pinky Swear Foundation that supports families that have a child with cancer.  And to talk to the Iowa State Cyclone Cheerleaders as we were at the opening ceremonies for the Iowa Games in Ames.

And with the drop of blood mascot for the Lifeserve blood bank while we held a blood drive at a time of critical shortage.

Herky the Hawk, Cy the Cyclone, Spike the Bulldog, TC the Panther and Billy Barnstormer guess I’ll be seeing you soon!
