'Twas a shining moment in Wellsboro history. They will talk in the coffee shops and diners of that glorious moment when the Savage Collectors be-knighted their town. A bronze plaque is being prepared as we speak- to be put outside the firehall annex. The Canyon Hotel has already made shrines of the rooms we stayed in, to be kept in their current state in perpetuity- moldy bath towels on the floors, empty shampoo jars in waste baskets, fart-tainted bed linens, and all. The garbage collectors set our trash aside and are now selling empty beer bottles to Straub's collectors (who I understand may indeed hold their Fest in Wellsboro now).
The only thing missing, that would have put us on The Nightly News, was there wasn't a single cross word spoken to or by an attendee.
