We Went To See The Harlem Globetrotters

We went to see the Harlem Globetrotters when they were passing through Ohio last week. We had a great time watching the game, and the show.

We’ve been to see them before, but it’s always fun to watch them, but it’s always fun to watch the show they put on. This time we received some free tickets from the Harlem Globetrotters through Coyne Public Relations, so we were definitely excited to check out another game.

The team mascot, Globie is definitely a big hit with the kids.
The game itself is always excited to watch, you would think their opponents would figure it out after all these years… but I guess then it wouldn’t be as fun to watch…

If you’re in Ohio and you want to catch the Globetrotters, there are still a couple chances left. They’ll be back in Ohio on April 12th and 13th for appearances in Cleveland and Columbus. Check out the Harlem Globetrotter’s schedule for all their stops.
