Chicken Suit!

In preparation for Jonah's company party, they did a fundraising event to raise money for a woman at the company who was just diagnosed with cancer. Jonah told everyone at work that if they raised $1000 for his time in the dunk tank at the party, that he would wear a chicken suit. They raised the money, and so we had to make a chicken suit!
This is the chicken suit I made from clothing from a thrift shop and sewed together by hand. Not too shabby!

Check out those feet I made out of a bath mat!

The guys from work lined up with anticipation to get Jonah dunked. The guy on the right in the red shorts knocked Jonah in on the first try of the day!

The water was really cold! And the fall broke apart the costume a bit.

Soaking wet, but happy. Getting $2000 for Amrita was worth the 40 minutes in the dunk tank as a chicken.
