The King of Condiments

How many of you get the channel called "WBGU" on your T.V.?
Well, did you know that a program on that actually won an Emmy.
Sure, it wasn't a National Emmy, but a Regional Emmy, but an Emmy's an Emmy.

A couple years ago, my Dad created a documentary on ketchup. Yes, ketchup. And it was really good. And, no, I'm not baised because he's my Dad. It really was good.
Even I played a role in its completion. My family went to Collinsville, Illinois during our summer vacation in order to tape a Ketchup Festival that was annual there. Because there were 6 in my family, my dad didn't have to bring a crew.
My sister handled the mike, I went around and had people sign Release Forms so they could be taped, my brothers' took turns carrying the lens cap, my Mom watched the boys, and my Dad taped.
Finally, (way later that same year, in the fall) my Dad won his Emmy.

I also got the job of running back to the van to get more batteries.

that sounds exciting, the filming and emmy winning, not the getting more batteries.
