Stretch Your Paycheck showed up at the Lakewood 4th of July Parade last week. My friend Lane and I marched with the “Corporations are not People” group carrying the Stretch Your Paycheck dollar. As we walked down the street, we would periodically stretch the dollar and spin around.
One little boy said, “ Yeah! Money!” Other children held out their bags – thinking that we were going to throw out candy.
It was a hot day, but it was great to march with the high school band, political candidates, the unicycle youth group, baton twirlers, the robotic team from St. Ed’s and other groups. Our group was in front of the Silver Sneakers group, an adult and senior fitness group who were right behind us. By the way – I know the song they performed to by heart.
We invited a few people to stretch the paycheck along the parade route, which included the students from St. Ed’s who were in the Robotics group who built a robotic canon that could shoot out t-shirts.
If you got your picture taken stretching your paycheck – you can download your picture at the Stretch Your Paycheck website.
Stretch your paycheck is an interactive performance where you can stretch your paycheck and get a souvenir picture that you can download, print, and share. Send to your boss, your congressman, or to the bill collector!
