Learned how to look very interested throughout the presentation and then how to calmly walk out at the break. Great fun for a pretty good meal.
In the ' 70s, we got a free Thanksgiving frozen turkey for looking at a camping plot by a small lake. That was great, as we were just starting out and didn't have two nickels to rub together back then.
We didn't buy a plot. Our friends did, though, and used it for many years.
