Cute!

I belong to a service organization which, among other things,
sponsors thousands of kids from all over Ohio to the Ohio State
Fair each summer.  These are kids living in state-approved 
foster or orphan homes, and also some of their adult chaperones.

The Fair provides free admittance and parking, and we work with
some food vendors to get them free or discounted food, and also
give them money for the rides/food.

We give away thousands of dollars in $2 bills, and try to get the
word out that our "Children's Home Day" project is putting all
those $2 bills into the various rides and attractions at the fair.

Unfortunately,  we have gotten feedback that more than half the $2
bills are kept by the kids, who seem to spend other bills of
their own and keep the 2s.    Ah well, .....
