On Friday, October 21, 2011 from 6PM until 7:30PM at the Diamond, home of the Flying Squirrels, the Popcorn Leadership held a POP 
RALLY celebrating successes by recognizing Scouts and parents who had already sold $600 or more of popcorn and/or $100 or more in military sales. Celebrating the sale with Nutsy and others, awesome prizes were given out and a Zyclone obstacle course proved to be very challenging. Between 200 and 250 people attended and things were POPPIN’!!!
