They were even saying that at the time. No one is going to stand in the desert in Arizona at the end of spring.

My family didn't participate. Not sure what my parents' reason or reasons were.

My family did, I'm 100% sure it was my dads doing as it doesn't seem like something mom would do.

I was little, i just remember driving to a nearby town and standing on the side of a road holding hands with someone for a few minutes and then leaving lol.

I would have been 9 years old at the time. If my parents made me hold hands with a stranger, I would have felt really uncomfortable.

I would've been 6; my parents probably sandwiched us kids between them. It was the 80s though, I might've been besties with a stranger if they said had an NES and Super Mario Brothers at home lol.
