I started working at 9 a.m. and there’s been at least 30 to 40 people already,” said 7-Eleven clerk Carol Goik. “We’ll probably have around 500 people stop in by the end of the day.”
Rain didn’t stop Kelly Brown and her five children, Kaitlin, Cody, David, Austin and Michael, from stopping by.
“The kids remind me about it all year,” said Kelly Brown. “We happen to be in Bay City today passing through, so all the kids wanted to come inside to get a Slurpee.”
