Kids seem to be either really excited to see someone in a costume (ala Disneyworld), or really horrified, like the ones who scream taking pictures with Santa/Easter Bunny. I guess he's hoping to find some of them who are happy to see him. Scary. But also reads like a joke, honestly, because it's so bizarre. (Sorta like how actual news sounds like The Onion now). I 'm with you - how hard can it be to find that vehicle??
Sounds like an Onion articlebec_87rbMay 18 2017, 18:04:42 UTC
If it had not been forwarded to me from an actual parent in Grand Forks, I'd have thought it was a joke.
I think the place is just small enough that some weirdness gets to be news by virtue of the relative paucity of news? I remember him keeping me abreast of the hand-found-in-the-park-by-the-river news. Apparently, at the spring thaw, some guy found a hand by the river and turned it into the police, and they were looking for the public's help in determining whose hand it was. Etc.
