Final Blizzard Tally: 12,347

8,000? 10,000? Try 12,347 Blizzards sold in one day!

Elisa Sand at the Madison Daily Leader and Matt Hendrickson at KJAM give details:

• Half of the sales came from DeLon's coupons. That's still a staggering 6,000+ Blizzards sold (and most likely consumed) on August 7.
• This year's Miracle Treat Day sales beat last year's by over 5,000. That beat last year's increase of what many of us thought was an unbeatable 3,000+. When Madison is working for a good cause, maybe the sky really is the limit.

Matt H. also covers the news on his blog, The Jackrabbit's Den. Matt had another stake in this challenge, since he promised DeLon that if Miracle Treat Day sales beat 10,000, Matt would shave his head. Stay tuned: Matt promises pix!
