Heater Delivers the Pizza

Heater Greeting Children

Enon, OH — Heater, one of the Dayton Dragons' mascots, brought the pizza to a lucky fan's birthday party Sunday afternoon, 17 August 2008. Bryant Rudy, the winner of a contest to have Heater come to a pizza party, invited lots of friends and family to share the special occasion. There were plenty of children on hand to welcome Heater with high-fives, rocks, and hugs. Heater could not stay long, however, because he had to get ready for the night's game with the Great Lakes Loons.
