Applicants at Wednesday's event said it was a quick and easy process.

"It's a good feeling. We didn't know what we were in for the day and what we were going to do today, so we just ran in up here and we're filling out our apps and everything. It's going to be worth it at the end," said Charmaine Goodlow.
