Watson's Soda Fountain & Café in Old Towne Orange was the backdrop Wednesday, April 5, for filming that will support an international charity campaign.
Hidden cameras filmed surprised – and delighted - diners all day to promote Red Nose Day, a fundraising campaign that assists children in poverty around the world.
Red Nose Day was launched in the United Kingdom by writer-director Richard Curtis through the charity Comic Relief in 1988 and launched in the United States in 2015.
Throughout the day, customers walking into Watson's were greeted by waiters sporting round, red noses. After guests were seated, Watson's staff would offer them their own red noses, encouraging them to put them on and shout "noses on!" Those magic words were the signal for the entire restaurant to come alive, with everyone else donning their noses and getting up to dance and holler loud enough to be heard around the corner.
“You can feel it – through your veins, through your heart and just in general – that there are bunch of people who are here for the cause,” Nations said. “It’s amazing. It makes you feel like you can make a difference just by agreeing to have them film the skit here.”
