By now everyone has probably attended an ugly sweater party at one time or another. The crew at Campus Wheelworks has taken the concept of wearing ugly sweaters to a new level. Every day, from Black Friday to December 25, Campus owners and employees are required to wear different ugly sweaters to work. That means that they spend a lot of time thrifting for the ‘baddest’, ugliest sweaters around. Even the bike shop’s mascot ‘Handsome Dan’ (the dog – photos below) gets into the action. “We have a lot of fun doing this,” Co-Owner Ethan Johnson told me. “At some point during the day we all pose for a ‘Holiday Card’, which we then post on Facebook. The only problem that we ever run across is the size of the sweaters… they’re always too small, but that kind of adds to the ugliness.”
I’m sure that these guys would appreciate a hand when it comes to searching for the ugliest sweaters. If you have what you believe is the ‘worst looking sweater ever’, then consider donating to one of the guys at Campus. Or if you want to spread your own Christmas cheer, stop on in wearing your own abomination and give them a high five. I’m sure that they would like to see some other people decked out in ‘camp’ wear! Might we see a Campus holiday calendar at some point?
