Trail’s End Popcorn: The Screening

Ok. Some backstory here.

Trail’s End popcorn is the brand of popcorn that the Scouts sell, in order to raise money for local troops. But they just don’t go into selling popcorn cold – no siree bob. They have a training video.

And in that training video? Actors. Or, should I say, students who excel academically and can recite lines. Namely – our very own Justin!

Keep in mind that this training video was something that was distributed nationally – and it’s a freaking hoot.

Today, Justin brought in his copy of the training video, and we all ran into Rey’s office to throw it into the VCR. On top of that, Justin has agreed to allow us to digitize his tape! So – I’m hoping to get a copy up on the blog, for all to see.

This is indeed, quite the occasion. Justin used to bust this video out maybe once a year, if we were lucky – mostly to entertain friends, and to give everyone a good laugh. So him wanting to digitize it (and to, hopefully, give it to me to post online) is huge. HUGE!

While I don’t have a copy of the video for you – I have a photo, and a quick video. This is a shot I took, outside the office, as we were queueing things up. The video (below) is of everyone’s reaction, as they get their first glimpse of Justin in the video.

Full video soon. I hope!
