On Sunday, January 28th,2012 Darren Tweeted that he would be giving out hugs. The following video is a result of those HUGS...

THEN...What I DID is compile as many of the pictures of Darren hugging and being hugged that I could find and I've put them in a picture gallery. I want to thank all of the people who gave me permission to use their pictures. I know that a lot of pictures were taken of friends and friends of friends, so if your picture is in the gallery and you would prefer that it wasn't, please let me know. I'll be happy to remove it - on the other hand, if you took pictures and want them added, the same hold true.

I tried to enter each person's name on each photo, but it didn't work- so I want to thank: Dawn Cooper, Carolyn Dickson, Clair Dolman, Karen Hartill,Oksana Hell, Elizabeth Henty, Charlotte Jefferson,Chris Keen,Hayley Muir, Tracy Nelson,Stephanie Walker Sheard, Tasha Worth.,. Some people had so many pictures that I have a separate page for them, but all of the pictures are wonderful. If any one wondered WHY we adore Darren, these pictures should answer that question.

P.S. There are a few video's but since they are posted on Facebook, I'm not sure if you'll be able to see them unless you are a friend of the person who took them, but here it the link to Carolyn Dickson's page.

ALSOI've added many more video's of interviews, promo etc on the VIDEO page..
