Washington Nationals "Presidents" Meet the State Societies

Guess who's coming to the Illinois State Society Inaugural Gala?  President Abraham Lincoln, that's who!  "Abe," pictured at right, is one of four "racing presidents" from Mount Rushmore who are mascots of The Washington Nationals Baseball Club. 

Not only is Abe going to the Illinois ball, but Teddy Roosevelt, lower right, will be a guest at the New York State Society pre-Parade Inaugural Brunch at the Willard Hotel on Jan. 20th.

Teddy is also rumored to be making appearances at the Delaware State Society Ball and the Arkansas State Society ball.  George Washington and Tom Jefferson of Virginia are said to be roaming the town looking for state societies. 

Tom Davis, coordinator for entertainment with the Nationals, is making the four presidents available to some state societies for Inaugural events and other state society parties prior to Opening Day on April 13.  Some state societies already see a "need" for one of the presidents to attend some cherry blossom festival activites in late March and early April.  Anywhere there are state society members enjoying themselves and taking pictures, it is possible one of the presidents can visit your event.  To find out if you can get a presidential visit, call Tom Davis at 202-640-7628 or send an email to Tom at Tom.Davis@Nationals.com.
