Inside the ‘Super Dragon’ Mascot: Meet Vasu

“I’m the big inflatable mascot, that’s kind of it. Being inside it is like being in a little house, like I’m all set up. There’s a fan inside with a battery and mesh in the chest so I can see through. It’s really spacious, you’d be surprised. The little kids will punch me, I think they think I’m a punching bag or something. But one game, someone threw an actual dollar at me. It’s a lot of fun, I get really hyped up with all the school spirit flowing through me.”
