What Makes You Happy?

Ever wonder what makes people happy? The answer could vary wildly dependent on who you ask, what frame of mind they're in at the moment, or who is asking the question. We're on a mission to get answers to the question from the people in our community in Danbury, CT, and then share them with the world.

About the Event

Our creative agency (Plaid) was invited to participate in Yahoo's Purple Pedals program. We're receiving a purple Yahoo! bike equipped with a camera that shoots and loads photos to the internet every 60 seconds.


We thought it would be fun to take the bike around our community and ask people to answer the question "What makes you happy?" We'll have each participant write their answer and show the Purple Pedals bike so that it can be shared with the world.


We hope to build a collection of photos of our community, featuring people from all walks of life sharing the secret of what makes them happy.

How To Participate

We'd love for you to tell us (and the world) what makes you happy. You only need to show up at any of the appearances open to the public, scheduled below. Bring a friend, a sibling, or a coworker, and be prepared to answer the question "What makes you happy?"
