LAFAYETTE, INDIANA - The Aviators beloved mascot Ace is finally being immortalized with his own bobblehead - and even better - he will be handing out his bobblehead to the first 250 kids on Saturday, July 8.
"In our two seasons at the new Loeb Stadium, fans have made multiple requests for an Ace bobblehead, " stated Aviators General Manager David Krakower. "When we developed our promotional schedule for this summer, an Ace bobblehead was at the top of our list. Thanks to First Farmer 's Bank & Trust we were able to make it happen."
In addition to Ace bobbleheads being distributed free to kids on July 8, a limited number of bobbleheads will also be available for purchase in the Aviators store beginning in June.
