The Once-in-a-Lifetime, Amazing, 24-Hour, Geo-Tag the Mascot Extravaganza

press release: It’s called The Once-in-a-Lifetime, Amazing, 24-Hour, Geo-Tag the Mascot Extravaganza and it’s taking place at noon on Saturday, August 18 to noon on Sunday, August 19, 2018.

“Everyone has seen the artfully painted mascot statues all around the Madison area. Well, we’re going to tag them,” said Jimmie Blanchard, the event’s project director. “But not with a spray can. We’ve developed an app which will be used by 2-person teams to geo-tag as many of the mascots as they can in a 24-hour period. The teams that tag the most mascots will win some pretty cool prizes.”

Spoofing Willy Street, a start-up social media consulting firm which operates a tongue-in-cheek guide to what is happening on Madison’s near east side is producing the fundraising event that will benefit Common Wealth Development Corporation, a community development organization. (www.cwd.org)

The Geo-Tagging Extravaganza begins and ends at the world headquarters of Spoofing Willy Street at 4222 Milwaukee Street on Madison’s far east side.

Why is it “Once-in-a-Lifetime”?

“The mascot statues are on display all around the area now, but they will be collected and auctioned off in September, making the Extravaganza a true once-in-a-lifetime event.”

What does it cost?

Register a 2-person team for $50. Proceeds benefit CWD, a 39-year-old community development organization. Participants receive:
