In contrast, there are now short dance marathons involving college students that are used for fundraising.Postcardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399915833682943432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645573232665842025.post-49606432685235823712015-05-23T14:44:51.863-05:002015-05-23T14:44:51.863-05:00Great entertainment, with competition for the boys...Great entertainment, with competition for the boys who wanted to be winners...as well as the girls! Before all the entertainments we have today were available, a wholesome way to burn off some of the energies of young people.

The dancers on the video were at it for months...Holy Cow.

It seems an absurd way to become a celebrity but just look at the inane stuff people produce today for YouTube.

A heaping pile of money? Sure. A gift card to McDonalds? Probably not. Donation to a good charity? Could be . . . at least when I was young. Today would be a completely different story.
