Got pins. Will trade.
Let’s play a game. What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the Winter Games? OK, second after snowball throwing. Was it athletes, medals, bobsleds, curling, skiing, skating or cowbells? What about pin trading?
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Pin trading is the unofficial sport in which everyone’s competing at the Olympics. Everyone is walking around looking to trade these little beauties. Think of it this way – more pins equal more points. Sometimes you get a pin that’s worth multiple points. Those are the ones the professional traders want. I’m not kidding. I did a little research and it seems like everyone’s trading pins. There are even designated locations for pin trading.
Long story short, pin trading is a big deal and as we know the International Federation of Snowball Throwing is a really big deal. So if there were official IFST pins being traded that would be a big deal of epic proportions, right? Moral of the story, pin trading is good for the IFST.
Wear an IFST pin to show your support. Every time you trade a pin, encourage your new pin-trading friend to sign our petition. Just like pin trading, this movement can’t be stopped!
I am convinced more and more especially with all of the information from the president that snowball throwing is happening
Marshmallows would also make great “snowball” pins for trading. If you need a little extra energy while trading- have a bite.
