Wondering why you didn't see Blade around much in August? He's been on vacation! Blade took a trip down south to get freshened up for the new season. When he came back in late August, he was looking better than ever! Blade missed all of his fans while he was gone, and now he's ready to get back to business.
On August 22nd Jackals staff members and Blade attended the Strong Kids Safe Kids of Chemung County 31st Annual Festival. This annual festival is a free back-to-school event. Blade, back in Elmira after his "vacation", took pictures with kids and helped them to get excited about going back to school. Blade and the Jackals staff members also used this event to promote the upcoming season.
On August 28, the Corning YMCA hosted an End of Summer Bash for all children in the Elmira/Twin Tiers area. Families from the community were invited to the event, where they played games and enjoyed the end of summer. Attendees also learned about healthy snacks and other ways to stay energized and healthy during the school year. Blade had a great time at this event playing games with the kids and encouraging them to stay active!
