Bottle Deposits.

WHERE: Portland, Oregon
WHEN: June 1996
WITH: Dad, Mom, and Diana
WHY: Rose Parade

MEMORIES:
-We got to skip our annual piano concert to go to the Rose Festival for the weekend.  I was very happy about that.
-This is where I really understood how the bottle deposit works here in Oregon.  We had somehow gotten a coupon for a free drink (maybe off of a cap), and I wanted to go to a place nearby and get it.  My mom sent me with a nickel, and I was confused why I would have to give them money - the pop was supposed to be free!  Then she explained the concept of a deposit and why we get money back when we recycle them.  Life lesson.



Rose Princess!
