#20 — “BatWars” Weekend (June 24-25)
Although not necessarily a moment, this weekend was a HOME RUN! A total of 19,200 people turned out for Batman Night featuring Lee Meriwether and the Batmobile on Friday, June 24 and Star Wars Night on Saturday, June 25, which included characters from the 501st Legion’s Garrison Excelsior and a special ticket pack featuring mini bobbleheads! The Wings were stylin’ in special theme jerseys both nights that raised over $6,700 for the Hillside Family of Agencies and the Red Wings Community Foundation.
