Hangin’ with the Heroes | Recap

firedept

We celebrated our first annual Hangin’ with the Heroes event June 18th at Mallards Stadium! Though the day was toasty, lots of families turned out for the event presented by Madtown Twisters and Hy-Vee!  Families spent the afternoon hanging out with local Madison heroes and fighting evil with Superheroes. Other activities included face painting, balloon twisting, dancing with Madison Jazzercise, zip lining, bounce housing, Superhero Storytime with Madison Public Library, and activities provided by sponsors! After all the pre-game fun, families settled in for the Mallards game!

Madtown Twisters, one of our title sponsors, had a SUPER fun activity circuit for the little ones to enjoy! They could jump, hang, leap and roll- perfect for getting their wiggles out! Madtown Twisters has locations on both the East and West sides and provide fun fitness classes, gymnastics classes, and many Open Gym options!

Hy-Vee, our other co-title sponsors provided some swag for our bags!  Hy-Vee offers many services: aisles online, professional catering, dietitians, and great food selections readily available at their stores (our fave!). A helpful smile in every aisle.
