Every April they load up a semi with packages of Crush and send it north to Minnesota. When it arrives, all the hobbyists take the day off and stage an informal party– a long line of pickup trucks and station wagons (and one ice-cream truck) stretching back from the semi, everybody waiting excitedly and sharing snacks. I bought two packages, reasoning that for a beginner one would be too risky and three too much work.
