Anytime you can break a world record and help people at the same time it’s a win-win all around.
Last Saturday the Hartford Wolf Pack were playing the Hershey Bears at their arena in Central Pennsylvania. The idea was that once the Bears scored their first goal of the same fans would throw stuffed teddy bears or animals on the ice. As soon as it happened the bears started flying from the stands. A total of 52,341 stuffed animals were collected which broke the world record.
They will all be donated to the Boys & Girls Club and other charities for children who need comfort. Such a nice world record to break. Bravo!
The video is really fun to watch too…. the best part being the announcer’s call of “SWEET CUDDLY MAYHEM”!

Over the next few days you’re going to hear the word “Blizzard” A LOT. But what most people don’t realize is to be a Blizzard it has nothing to do with snow totals. You need a sustained wind of 35mph, or frequent gusts, for 3 straight hours. Visibility also needs to be a quarter mile or less in falling or blowing snow around the whole 3 hours.
We will know soon enough if we get hit with a Blizzard this weekend or just some snow.

Sometimes when everything is so serious and crazy in the world you just need a good laugh. It’s always great to have neighbors your are close with who can make that happen. This story is absolutely hilarious. I literally laughed out loud when I first read it.
This guy in Australia realized he wasn’t going to be home for trash day so he texted his neighbor asking if he would take his garbage can out for him. Obviously he meant to the curb by the street for the trash truck to pick up. But instead the neighbor thought he’d have a little fun and took the garbage barrel to all different places in town. The beach, running errands, even to get a massage! Hahahaha
The photos are amazing you can see them HERE
