Mascot Madness By: Sara
Jul 2
It is a well known fact that Texas has the Dallas Cowboys, Illinois has the Chicago Bulls, and Georgia has the Atlanta Braves. Here at CONA, there are numerous states that have their own mascots. States look up to their mascots and take extreme pride in them. Texas has their flag, and delegates from other states have been stealing the flag for years. It is fitting that since Wisconsin is the “Dairy State”, their mascot is a cow. Last year, delegates from Pennsylvania stole the cow, tied it to a pole, and decided to “roast” it.
Florida’s mascot is a tradition that goes back farther than any current delegate can remember. Their mascot is a stuffed aardvark that is dressed in cowboy attire. Florida developed the idea for the aardvark from a song called “Aardvarks Are My Friends”, which is sung to the tune of “Yankee Doodle”. The aardvark has already been stolen, with different pieces of clothing being left behind in various places. If you happen to see the aardvark, please contact a Florida delegate as they are in great distress.
