People Sit Down To Color For A Cause In South Jersey

By Kristen Johanson

COLLINGSWOOD, NJ (CBS) -- It was National Crayon Day Thursday and dozens of people sat down to color for a cause.

Inside the Pop Shop in Collingswood, was sold-out crowd.

"People just come, color, relax... It's BYO."

Owner Connie Correa says a ticket gets you an 'all-you-can-eat' buffet, drinks, crayons and grown-up coloring book pages with detailed designs, like paisley and intricate nature scenes.

"It's sort of like a low-stress way to relax. It's also a way to be creative without doing anything that looks great."

It benefits several local non-profit organizations that provide art education to kids and adults alike. It's something Michael and Lorraine couldn't pass up, especially with a bottle of white, of course.

"Not something you would normally do," Lorraine says.

Michael adds, "It's great practice now that we have a grandson, now we can teach him to stay in the lines, if we can stay in the lines."
