The results are in... Romney Bobbleheads win!
Thirsty Thursday, Friday Fireworks, The ZOOperstars this Sat. and more this week!
HICKORY, NC - The results from the first-ever Hickory Crawdads Bobblection promotion held before last Saturday's game are in! The first 1,000 fans through the gates last Saturday had their choice between a President Barack Obama Bobblehead or a Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney Bobblehead, with 500 of both initially available.

 

bobbleAfter careful calculation, the Mitt Romney Bobbleheads are officially the winners due to running out first.  At the time when the last Romney bobblehead was selected, there were 129 Obama bobbleheads left.
 

"We were really excited to get involved with this promotion and hold the first Bobblection Giveaway at L.P. Frans Stadium," said Crawdads Director of Promotions Jared Weymier.  "It was great to have so many fans come out and make their bobblehead choices, and we're looking forward to seeing if our bobblehead results will help predict the next president or not!"


The Crawdads are one of 10 teams participating in the Bobblection promotion.  Although this is the first time that the 'Dads have been involved, other Minor League Baseball teams have held the Bobblection promotion before the last two presidential elections, and their collective results correctly indicated who the next president would be both times.  There are still some teams that have yet to hold the promotion this year, so we'll have to wait and see what the final complete results will be!
