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!
