So for Spring Break next month I'm going to Florida to visit my friend who works at Disney World. I've been seeing those commercials from Disney about a "Give a day, Get a day," where you give a day of volunteer service and get a ticket to a Disney park for free. Well, I'm always looking to save money so I decided to check out the website and see what kind of things they had going on in Utah. One caught my eye right off. It was a service day out in Vernal. My family is going out there this weekend so I thought if they were doing it this weekend I could go do some service and see some family at the same time. But then I started having flash backs of picking up rocks and pulling weeds out in Vernal and I didn't want to do that kind of service. But I clicked on more details just to see what it was. This is what it said:
| Opportunity Name: | Hair Pulling at Utah Fieldhouse of Natural History State Park Museum -- Vernal, Utah |
| Opportunity Description: | Volunteers are needed to pull hair! Pull hemp to make hair for the museum's Woolly Mammoth. Volunteers can also remove old hemp from the mammoth. |
I of course emailed them immediately asking when this was taking place crossing my fingers and hoping it was this weekend. Unfortunately it makes such a mess that they have to wait until it gets warmer so they can do it outside so its not taking place until April, long after my trip. I was quite disappointed but maybe I'll go out in April and help just for fun, so that I can say I re-furred a Woolly Mammoth.I couldn't find anything remotely as interesting as that to volunteer for so now I'm just making scrapbook pages for orphans in Haiti. Why they need scrapbook pages I don't know but it is simple and easy so I signed up. Its getting me a free ticket to Disney World!!

Scrapbook pages for Haitians makes no sense whatsoever. And I thought that re-furring a fake mammoth would be the weirdest thing you mentioned.
Wow, who would of thought a wooly mammoth would need refurring? Wish I could go with you to FL!
