Here’s How Alan Celebrated ‘National Hugging Day’

Did you know that hugging someone for 20 seconds releases oxytocin, which is nature's anti-depressant and anti-anxiety fix? It lowers your blood pressure and is good for your heart, too.

January 21 is 'National Hugging Day' so we went downtown with our cameras to see if we could get 96.5 hugs. Did we make our goal? See for yourself!

And thanks to everyone downtown who gave me a big hug to help me not only reach my goal, but also enjoy all the health benefits that hugging brings. If you hugged me, you are probably on this video! - Alan
