Food Field Trips, Friday 12/13, period 2

[stykera]

Stark was absolutely wearing his snuggle while waiting for everyone to arrive outside the Portalocity office. It was blue and it had cupcakes on it and it was warm and cozy and he loved it. He'd remove it before actually entering their destination though.

“Today we're going to a very small town in New York,” he said once everyone had arrived. “It's called LeRoy and it's the place where Jello was invented.”

Yes, he was grinning at Summer right now.

“We will, of course, be visiting the Jello Museum.”

If any of you didn't see that coming you hadn't been paying attention. At all.

“It's a small museum so it shouldn't take too long. You should feel free to explore nearby LeRoy House as well, if you're feeling a need for some history.”

With that, Stark motioned for everyone to follow him to the portal.

"If you're a little newer to the island," Summer began, as the class gathered outside of the portalocity office as oh-so-handwavily instructed, "then you're realizing that Fandom really takes its holiday seriously. It's quite possibly the most holiday-obsessed place on in this entire dimension....but it's got some competition.

"Today," she continued, "especially with Christmas right around the corner, we're going to a place in Michigan that touts itself as being with world's largest Christmas store, Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. This massive Alpine-styled structure in Frankenmuth is 7.35 acres of pure Christmas capitalism, located on a decorated 27 acre of even more holiday cheer. It's been around since 1945, and, when we get there, we're going to be greeted by not one, not two, but three giant Santa Clauses and an equally massive snowman, and it boasts an annual inventory of Christmas good upwards of 50,000 items. So, yeah, there's a lot, and you can thank me later when you manage to find the weirdly perfect holiday gift for that person you've been struggling to buy for.

"Or just get ideas for your own holiday decorating or whatever. Either way, it's a big giant Christmas store, which, depending on your thoughts on that kind of thing, can be pretty weird, wonderful, or what-the-fuck."
