Everyone needs a hug!

You may have heard of the "Free Hugs" campaign which began in Australia on September 21 of this year. Well if you haven't please check out the following link.

IT was so fantastic...we hugged the little kids, middle and highschool students, adults and grandparents..and they all left our grip with a huge smile on their face. It was wonderful. Many of our patrons didn't just come in for the hug and run...they gave a good squeeze and maybe a photo op with the waygook. No matter their motive..they were well received.






Many people looked at us as if we were off our rockers but after a hug...i think they got the idea and could appreciate the significance of bringing people closer together and putting a smile on their face. If you can make the time...have a hug day in your town. I'm sure North Bay could use some hugs. :)
