Relay for Life – Holiday Gobblers
November 12, 2010 at 5:00 am 3 comments
The last two years, Ryan, ZJ and I weren’t alone at Relay for Life. Both years we had neighborhood kids accompany us. Since the kids are very enthusiastic about the event, this year we making our team a “Hunter Street Team“. Ryan and I are donating the registration fees for the kids who want to participant. (Ryan has already been convinced to give Tyrek an additional donation as well 🙂 ).
Recently I have been exposing some of the kids to plastic canvas.

Building on that skillset and inspired by Thanksgiving, this month as a thank you gift for donations, we’re going to make these Holiday Gobblers as Thank You Gifts.
Holiday Gobblers for Thanksgiving
We have four colors:
- Burgundy (aka “The Hokie”)
- Dark Brown
- Tan
- Black and White Spotted
When you squeeze them, they will give you a kiss, specifically a Hershey Kiss. Or…. you can use them to decorate your nose. Holiday Gobblers are multifunctional!
