Beastley Barrel

The youth in our church has been doing a fundraiser where this lovely creature, "Beastley Barrel" visits yards of the people in our congregation, only to be removed if a small fee is paid. Guess whose yard he showed up in earlier this week? So while I was calling the youth director to arrange for his removal, Abby was celebrating like it was Christmas. You have to admit, though, he really is kind of cute. And what a great fundraising idea!!!

Side note: our youth director is full of amazing ideas. This week, they took bags filled with a bottle of water, a fruit roll-up, and a granola bar to the masses of people who are standing in line at the emergency rooms.

Some of the youth organizations around here "flock" people's yards with pink flamingos, which, of course, have to be removed after paying a "small" fee! They make money because someone is paying to have the flock put in someone's yard, and the recipient is paying to have them removed! What a great idea!!
