Awash in Little League Baseball & A Car Wash Fundraiser

Our local West Seattle branch of the Puget Consumers Cooperative, a health food store chain in the Northwest, generously agreed to let the Red Bulls use one of their parking lots for a Car Wash/Bake Sale Fundraiser. In addition, some of the families scrounged up Seattle Mariners memorabilia and tickets to assemble prize baskets we could raffle. (Darn, I have a University of Washington Husky’s Football commemorative book that’s still in the plastic sleeve, but this doesn’t go with the theme. I scavenged our house for other potential items we could sell. I briefly consider selling our futon at the car wash, but it’s over 20 years old and I’m not sure how much we’d fetch for it.)
Today was beautiful & sunny, and we had a steady stream of cars lined up for the car wash. The boys alternated between sudsing up the cars and skipping over to the McDonald’s conveniently located across the street. It just goes to show you that in the battle between PCC healthy tofu and McDonalds Happy Meals, the latter offering will always win. There was one unforgettable moment, something I refer to as The Hotwheels Affect. Toward the end of the car wash, a red Corvette rolled in, and every single boy instantaneously abandoned the car he was washing in order to get his mitts on the sports car. Now that’s detailing. I caught this on video for your enjoyment. Will post shortly.
