Little known fact: Obie was born on a Florida Citrus Grove. In Florida, there are over 750,000 acres of citrus groves and more than 100 million citrus trees.
The official mascot of the Orange Bowl Committee is a fun-loving character who loves to entertain crowds. One of Obie's biggest thrills is busting a move or two on the sidelines during an Orange Bowl game or during an Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance game.
