POSSUM CREEK STOOP-SKIPPING SOCIETY
Trading Card Series · Issue No. 47 · "Tuesday Legends" run
Well hello there, traveler, and welcome back to the porch-flag end of the lower Wabash! I'm telling you what — if you've been driving the state route long enough to count corn-ribbons, you've surely wondered what all the commotion was about on a sleepy Tuesday afternoon in little Possum Creek. Pull over. Get yourself a fountain root beer. Today the Bureau hands you the brand-new Society card, fresh off the church-basement press, and folks — it is a doozy. Meet our champion.
Legendary Athlete — Stoop-Skipper▦

"She learned on her grandmother's porch with a kitchen timer and a bowl of half-snapped green beans. We have it on tape." — Almanac, Vol. III

How A Match Works (For The Tourist)
- The Stoop. Five or six steps, painted town-hall green, lined with hand-quilted runners by Mrs. Eulalie Drake.
- The Skip. Contestants begin at the top with both boots side-by-side. On the bell, they cascade — never two feet on the same step. Bonus points for syncopation.
- The Penalty. Touching the rail with a hand earns a chiding from the judge and one bag of peanuts forfeited to the crowd.
- The Tuesday Rule. Matches held on Tuesdays count toward the Society standings. Sunday matches are "for fun and pie."
- The Bow. Always bow to the porch. Maudine says the porch remembers, and Maudine has never been wrong about a porch.
