We Want Your Best Canning Stories!

THON would not be possible without the hardworking efforts of everyone who took to the streets to go canning. Braving the cold, soliciting drivers, and coming up with the perfect canning dance are all challenges that canners must face in the search for that $20 dollar bill. But with all the challenges come memories that you’ll remember forever.

So now, with a week to go until we storm the BJC, we’d like to take a look back at this year’s fundraising season. We want to know:

What are your favorite canning stories from this last canning trip, or from this year?

Share your most memorable, emotional, or funny moments in the comments (or, if you have a longer story, send it in to the Community section!).  We’ll feature the best stories in a post over THON weekend!
