It was definitely a penny when they were kids. That link said it started dying out by the mid-20th century. I thought people just went around asking for bonfire wood after that.

That’s what we did. To the point about August the adults would start hording scrap wood rather than binning it. That was until the bigger kids started lighting it early so. This resulted in us only having 1 day to build it
