Way to go Penn State Greeks!  |
So true. For our last canning trip though (which was the weekend of Valentine's Day, you know, the one where we got 18 inches of snow and then another like 2 feet on top of it?) they required that we not stand on street corners for safety reasons. This meant that we had to find businesses that would allow us to stand outside of their stores (or at least on their property) to solicit money from their customers. Yeah, not an easy task. We were lucky and were able to find some, but I know a lot of people ended up either canceling or doing day trips, because the penalties for standing on the street were severe (ex: we lose dancers, floor passes, parts of our total, etc). It was intense.
I can only imagine what would have happened had they not threatened us, considering the snow plus the lack of snow removal plus people not being smart about not going into the streets. Insanity, much? Thankfully, another year has proven successful and is now finished. Whew.
