If you get the chance, visit this webpage: http://contests.about.com/ there is a lot of good information there all about sweeping! (tax info, 'lucky' tips, how to avoid sweepers burn-out and being DQ'd, scams and safety tips.....and the list goes on!) Great place to visit if you get a break from sweeping or need some awesome information!
