Every year, a dedicated group of people gather at an undisclosed location that everyone knows about to prepare the popcorn ball for the upcoming drop. These "Merry Pranksters" are Tom & Sally Florkiewicz, Rob & Kathy Schwind, Dewey Forward, Sue Hogan, George Richards, Jan Jones, Scott Butler, Will Butler, Steve King, Jim Newell, Rachael Raymond, Bill Davis, Mort McClennan, and Jeff Holbury (Drone Ohio). Special thanks to our sponsors of years gone by, including Huntington Bank, Ganley Chevrolet in Aurora, Heinens, and of course, The Chagrin Falls Popcorn Shop.
