Penny scramble!

Have you been to a penny scramble? I heard someone say last night, you haven't really experienced Fortuna, if you have been to the penny scramble! It's Rodeo Week here in Fortuna. With that comes nightly activities all week, and the rodeo on Saturday and Sunday.

Last night was the penny scramble! For those of you that don't know, a whole bunch of kids are herded into one small area and a thousand dollars worth of pennies are tossed on the ground. You can imagine what happens next! Mass chaos, of course! Thank goodness they do it in age groups. J.T.'s age group went first. I am pretty sure he had a good time. Here he is busy at work, collecting as many pennies as he could...

Abigail had to wait through J.T.'s age group plus the 4-5 age group. When she finally got her turn, she got her share of pennies too.
