Bolt Needs Votes
VOTE HERE FOR BOLT
Second chances do not come around often. For Dash mascot Bolt, a second chance has arrived.
You see, our good friend Bolt has been here before. Bolt destroyed a hometown favorite mascot before narrowly losing to the defending champion in a “Mascot Madness” challenge.
Another tournament is here, and it involves 64 mascots within minor league baseball.
Our goal is to help Bolt take the crown. Please vote for Bolt in the first round against Clearwater Threshers mascot Phinley by clicking the link at the top of the page.
We’ll leave you with this–Bolt’s biography. It is tremendous:
“Since my arrival in 2009, I’ve taken Winston-Salem by storm. My deceptive speed and electric personality make me the perfect mascot for the Dash. I am neither bear, nor dog, nor bear-dog, but rather a Bleacher Creature (Bleacherus creaturus). My notable achievements include most belly shakes in one minute (423); most high-fours in a single game (3,202,009); and a more ignominious distinction — a 210-game losing streak in Musical Chairs. I provide our fans with high-voltage entertainment, and, just like the dash in the city’s name links two proud communities, I bring people together with the greatest gift of all: laughter.”

Round Two Is Here
Everyone in Winston-Salem loves Bolt. Last week, we asked you to help Bolt defeat the University of Arizona’s mascot in a voting contest held by an Arizona-based radio station.
You crushed poor Wilbur. It was dominant.
Today, it’s round two, and a trip to the Final Four is on the line. The assignment is not any easier. In fact, this may be more of a challenge, because Bolt’s opponent is the defending “Mascot Madness” champion–Webster University’s Gorlok.
We celebrated the victory over Wilbur last week. We previewed this huge matchup yesterday. Now, it’s put up or shut up time.
