Great Moments in Snuggie History - January 30, 2009 - Cincinnati, Ohio
On this historic night, these 6 Snuggie Pioneers bundled up in their Snuggies, braving the elements.
A bout of Complimentary Booklight Brawl broke out in the parking lot. Both participants were protected by their Snuggies and the match ended in a draw...of course. Peace descended upon the streets of Cincinnati and all was well in most of Ohio that night...nudging Cleveland.
This night proved historic in many ways. Not only was it the first Snuggie Pub Crawl and the first Snuggie Fight, the first symptoms of
Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome arose.
