Poo Festival
I was browsing the news online, when I read about the Poo Festival in Crested Butte, Colorado.
Huh?
Crested Butte, a self-proclaimed town of dog lovers, stages a “Spring Poo Festival”. When the snow melts, a winter’s worth of dog poop is left behind. Someone had the bright idea of holding an organized dog waste cleanup, and calling it a festival. Amazingly, 100 or so people showed up for this bizarre easter egg-like hunt.
The participants were given bags, and they set out, eyes on the ground, looking for dog poop. When they’d collected all they could find, the bags were weighed, and those with the heaviest bags won prizes.
Brilliant. Now if only we could figure out a way to inspire people to pick it up in the first place!
