Β CHARLOTTE, NC —Β Football fans gathered at the Epicenter in Uptown Charlotte for the Panthers season opener pep rally Thursday night. Β Despite the rain, there were special appearances by the Topcats cheerleaders and the Panthers Purrcussion band. Β
Many also used this event, on September 11, to celebrate our country. Β We caught up with a Charlotte resident who’s been deployed to Iraq twice.Β
“The last 13 years have been hard for the country, for the veterans,” said U.S. Army veteran Blake Bourne. Β “We just wanted to celebrate that. Β Rain or shine, we were gonna have a good time.”
WCCB Charlotte sent our very own Flash out to the pep rally to make a lucky fan $1,000 richer. Β Thomas Wright won Thursday night’s Flash Cash. Β The Flash premieres here on WCCB on Tuesday, October 7.
