Invasion Location: "Miller Park Zoo Spook-tacular 2013" - Bloomington, IL
Date: October 26, 2013
Clan Involved: Nexu Clan
Mission Objective: To promote the Mandalorian Mercs and help celebrate Halloween with Star Wars Fans.

Invasion Report: Members of Nexu Clan, alongside members of the 501st Legion's Midwest Garrison and Rebel Legion's Nar Shadaa Base, invaded Miller Park Zoo for their 3rd annual "Spook-tacular" event. The Mercs brought their Jail Cell for photo opportunities with the costumed children while the 501st ran their "Blast-a-trooper" event. To close the event, the Mercs led a costume parade around the center plaza of the zoo while Mav, in the lead, blasted Dual Of The Fates from his voice amp.

At the end of the day, the Mercs had met over 1100 attendees of the event and helped raise over $100 for the Miller Park Zoo Zoological Society. The event was a resounding success and the Mercs are already planning the Zoo's "May the Fourth" weekend event for 2014.
From the Mandalorian Merc Invasion report.
Approx 15hrs on Blast-a-Trooper

Nicely done! So glad that the Nexu Clan had a good result!

Is there also a donation report for the Blast-A-Trooper? Obviously, we can't claim the total that the Nexu made with their jail cell...

:wink:

Actually most if not all the money raised was from Blast-a-Trooper, the jail was just set up for photo ops...I was to busy with BaT to see if donations were being taken for these photos.
