What Are Fun Dangles, Harley Giveaway and Officer Arkell Fund
Did you know square dancing involves 'fun dangles?' If you didn't, allow me to explain.Our morning topic was 'weird or strange things you collect.' Tammy posted on Facebook that she has an entire back pack covered in fun dangles. Mark and I had no idea what the heck she was talking about, so we posed the question to our listeners. Loyal listener, Lisa from Weare, explained fun dangles come in different shapes and sizes and represent various things you do while square dancing. For example, wearing mittens on your hands and shoe boxes on your feet. Sounds like they know how to party.
Personally, I think one of the creepiest things people collect are porcelain dolls.
Kinda creepy, aren't they?
