Flat Stanley at TBA

A coworkers niece had the story character Flat Stanley mailed it to him for an adventure. He asked me if I would take Flat Stanley to the game and to take some pictures and I must say we had fun with the idea. I had a dance team girl pose with him, as well as a policeman act like he was cuffing him. I also had a friend take a picture from behind as though Stanley was peeing in the trough. I of course took a picture of him as though he was on the court and next to the baseball player statue next to lindsey nelson stadium. I actually enjoyed it, however am I the only one who had'nt heard of this storybook cutout before?

Back when I was in elementary school we had to make our own Flat Stanley character and mail him to someone. That was back when I was in 4th grade in 1998, so I don't remember much else about it.

Basically, the kids book Flat Stanley is about a kid who becomes flat after a big board falls on him while he's sleeping. He then has some funny adventures. That's pretty much it.

We did that at a summer camp I worked at. We sent one to the Titans and Cortland Finnegan took a picture with Flat Stanley, wrote the kids a letter and sent them all Titans shirts. Pretty cool guy.
