These days, you can hardly log onto the Internet without coming across a video of people dancing in costume doing the “Harlem Shake.” The United Way of Hall County used the popular Internet motif Thursday afternoon to announce its annual celebration and volunteer recognition that it reached its 2012 campaign goal. The brief video showed a man in a chicken suit shaking a tail feather and holding a sign that read $1,805,000 — $5,000 more than the campaign’s goal.
