It’s a Bigger and Better weekend in La Cañada
Posted on 12. Mar, 2010 by kchristieh in my life
Tonight several dozen junior high students descended upon La Canada for a “Bigger or Better” scavenger hunt. Each of four groups started out at La Canada Presbyterian Church with a paper clip and instructions to ask residents of different streets if they’d trade what the kids had for something “bigger or better.” Our group consisted of about a dozen confident, polite 7th and 8th grade girls who enthusiastically explained to complete strangers what they were doing. It was a pleasure to see how their infectious enthusiasm inspired people to dig into their closets and garages for increasingly more impressive items. Along the way we obtained a pack of gum, a teapot, two basketballs, a garbage can and two boxes. We wound up with a very big box. Other groups beat us out, however, with their working Sony television, uncharged ATV and vintage bicycle.
All items collected will be donated to an upcoming Girl Scout garage sale which is raising money for Haitian earthquake victims.
We all had a great time. What a win-win-win activity!
Here are the final items each group brought back:
Speaking of Bigger and Better…stay tuned for more about the giant Rice Krispie treat being constructed in La Canada this weekend. Yummy!!
