But every participant was given a little box with a live butterfly inside. We’d all go outside and on the count of three open the boxes and see all the butterflies take off up into the sky. Usually there were about a hundred of us there, so it was a very cool thing to see. They’d make an afternoon out of it for us with entertainment and food. It was very nice.
