Eddie Eagle

I need to preface this post with this is the fun part of my job doing the community event for the Sheriff's Office I work for.
I won this mascot for my work by entering an essay contest and only five were given out nationally, so it is a pretty big deal that we got one. The deputies love me for putting them in the mascot too :o)
So for the day I got to ride in our armored vehicle that we take on SWAT calls (which you can see pictures of at the bottom of this post). It was very neat to ride down the road sitting up front and having people look at you like what the heck are you driving and where are you going, someone even video taped us. Kinda felt like a celebrity.
So the guys and I show up to this elementary school with the lights and sirens going and get the kids all riled up and have Eddie Eagle standing up top of the BEAR and have fun with kids and give out badges and have 200 kingergarten and 1st graders attacked me. It was great!
