The walk will be held at Eldridge Park in Elmira, with Registration set for 9:00 am. and the walk starting at 10:00 am.

Blade was even busier last week as he made 5 different promotional visits in just three days. Last Thursday Blade visited Glove House and the big chicken dinner at Wisner Park in downtown Elmira. Last Friday Blade went to Cohen PFO for their annual Ice Cream Social and then traveled to Corning to participate in a Luau held to support the mentally challenged. Last Saturday Blade participated in the Food Bank of the Southern Tier's First Annual Children's Hunger Walk. Later that night Blade was a "guest" dealer for Casino Night at the Corning Glass Museum, a fundraising event for childcare at one of the local churches.
The Elmira Jackals and Blade are willing to do appearances throughout the Twin Tiers during the summer months as part of their efforts to stay active in the community even during the hockey off-season. For more information, please contact Edward Meek in the Jackals office, 607-734-PUCK.
