GENEVA, Ill. - The Kane County Cougars are proud to announce Annie T. Cougar as the newest addition to the family in 2016. Joining her older brother Ozzie as the second coolest cougar in the Chicagoland area, Annie was revealed to fans during the game on Saturday, June 18 with the help of some local friends including Parker T. Fox from the Fox Valley Park District, Mr. Limeade from Sonic, Rusty from the Chicago Steel, Sparky the Fire Dog from the Geneva Fire Department and the Chick-fil-a Cow.
As the younger sister of Ozzie, Annie spent the early part of her life focusing on receiving her education and traveling the country before recently deciding to join the family business and team up with Ozzie in the mascot world. She will serve alongside Ozzie as the Cougars official ambassador of goodwill and fun. Both Annie and Ozzie will be busy Cougars, appearing at all remaining home games throughout the 2016 season. While the team is away from the ballpark, they will stay active in the community by making appearances at schools, churches and youth sporting events.
Annie will join up with Ozzie for the reading club as well which included more than 400 Chicago area schools in 2016. Students improve their reading skills through their participation in the program and receive complimentary tickets to attend a Cougars game and take part in a pre-game parade.
"We are so excited about this great addition to the Cougars family," said owner Cheryl Froehlich. "It's such a thrill for us to see the faces of young Cougars fans light up when they get the chance to meet Annie for the first time."
"The fan reaction to Annie has been tremendous," added Cougars General Manager and Vice President Curtis Haug. "The sibling dynamic between both Annie and Ozzie is fantastic and will only help us to reach more people throughout the community moving forward."
The Cougars return home for a seven-game homestand beginning on Monday, June 27 with multiple activities planned including a Superhero and Comic-Con Deck Party, Military Appreciation Night, an All-You-Can-Eat Picnic and four straight nights of fireworks shows that the whole family will enjoy. To purchase tickets, call the Cougars box office at 630-232-8811 or visit www.kccougars.com.
