It was 2010 when I attended my first Cans Film Festival at Wehrenberg. There was plenty of snow on the ground already and more was on the way that afternoon, so Christmas was definitely in the air.

When I arrived to set up for my live broadcast, I was greeted with smiles and thank you's by everyone who was helping count cans that afternoon, and some who'd been there since before 8am to set everything up.

There was a live band playing Christmas carols in the lobby, with even Darth Vader and a fellow storm trooper ringing red kettle bells in the entry-way. I was having so much fun already and I hadn't even been there for 5 minutes!

Every year since I've participated in some way, shape or form, and this year will be no different. In fact, I challenge this Rochester market to beat their previous record of 12,500 cans set back in 2012.

Here's how all this benefits both you, the Salvation Army and Channel One food bank:

You can help those in need this holiday season by donating canned food items and see a movie for FREE by doing so! Donate 5 canned food items per person and see a movie before 5pm for FREE! Donate an additional 10 cans per person (15 total) and also recieve a pass for use at future date!

In addition, Wehrenberg Theatres will again award a year-long movie pass to the single largest donation received in the theatre circuit.

Cans Film Festival, the area’s most popular food drive, stocks the local food pantries every year during the holiday season when those less fortunate need it most.

I'll be out there from 1-3 p.m. keeping KROC listeners abreast with how the numbers are stacking up and whether we need more help... but please find it in your hearts to donate to this great cause and we'll see you tomorrow for the 2016 Cans Film Festival!!

**Wehrenberg Theatres is not responsible for sell-outs and cannot offer rain checks. Please note theatres will award one pass per person present; theatres cannot offer one pass for every 15 cans.
