Worm Charmers Are Competing to See Who Can Collect the Most Worms

The mission? Get as many worms to the surface as possible. The method? Whatever the hell you want. Every year, this wacky group of misfits gets together in search of an answer to a simple question: What’s the best way to attract worms to the surface of the Earth?
