I worked for Quality foods back in 1999 when we had Western Days week in October of that year.
I was in charge of getting the employees involved in this event. We had a lot of cooperation from the employees who enjoyed dressing up for the week.
Quality Foods has two stores in different locations and I was able to be involved with the events at both stores.
The entire week was dedicated to our Western Day Sale and I dressed up each day.
This event would spawn one of my very first Crazy Characters.
JOHNNY, CARRIE & McGRAW
For this event, I grew a gotee and got a black cowboy hat. Patti said that I reminded her of Tim McGraw, so I came up with the name Mark McGraw, and later added the Quickdraw part.
A lot of the customers told me that the cowboy look suited me.
CARRIE
We all had a blast with this at work and I brought my video camera along each day.
McGRAW & JUANITA
Over the course of the week, we made a movie where poor McGraw tries to get all of the cowgirls to go out with him, but they all tell him to get lost, and he suffers a lot of abuse, finally getting mistaken for a guy on a wanted poster and getting shot by the sheriff.
At the end of the movie, McGraw is confronted by a tough looking character named Grizzly Adams who informs him that all of the girls he has been messing with are Grizzly's sisters. He receives a thrashing from Grizzly.
MCGRAW & LIZ
At last, McGraw meets a cowgirl who is interested in him, but she turns out to be Grizzly Adam's wife, so McGraw runs for his life.
MARK & TERRIAN
