Have you ever been in your local paper? If so, why? (feddit.uk)

When I was a kid, me and my beavers group got into the local paper because we did something.

I've got no idea what we did, but we got printed and as a 7 year old that was pretty huge.

Life never got better.

Me and some friends won first place in a fictional stock exchange competition which was held in our province for economics classes. About 20 years ago. We solely invested in tanks, firearms and christmas trees. Arrived high as kites to the award ceremony about one hour late. Needless to say our teacher wasn't too happy with us. Our team's name? Lords of destruction. News article and photo featured in the local newspapers.
