Feels Good. Feels Organic.

1. People are mean when they don’t think you are passing candy out fast enough.

2. People do notice when you give them “the good stuff,” Reese’s, Snickers, Kitkats, etc.

3. When you pass candy out in a parade, you will be doing a lot of running back and forth to the vehicle to get more candy.

4. Being in the front of the parade is stressful. Do you give adults by themselves candy? Who knows? Everyone gets candy.

5. When you walk in a parade with the Governor, people think you are really important and know him. In reality, I found out he was going to be at the parade with us about a day in advance and met him about 30 minutes before the parade started. He did hug me and tell me congratulations for my wedding.

6. You go through an insane about of candy passing out candy. Insane. You start the route with enough candy you are like “we will never use this much candy,” and you end with one snickers bar in your bucket. You offer it to the Governor and he declines.
