Does the fun ever end when Mr.
Sunflower's involved?
I think I've spoken about Mr. Sunflower
in here before; he's our station Facebook mascot, one I started
putting in posts when I realized that having him in there increased
(for whatever reason) the number of people who see our posts. Over
the years Mr. Sunflower the the cast of characters surrounding him
(and yes, there is a cast of characters surrounding him) have
provided countless additional “likes” and impressions for us.
So thank you, Mr. Sunflower.
Someone asked me where I get the
pictures we post of him, and as you can probably guess I take 'em
all. In fact, the ones I've been using over the past few months were
all taken one Saturday last October when it was it was 80-some
degrees. Because I'm me I went out with my camera, walked around
part of the east side of Marquette, and snapped away. I took so many
pictures that day, in fact, that I'm still set through the next few
months.
Go figure.
Anyway, since it's yucky out today I
thought I'd put a little sunshine in your life with some of the
pictures we've been posting through the winter. We'd shared pictures
of Mr. Sunflower's new ID badge from work--
His attempts at a new hairstyle for the
new year--
He and his best friend Mr Bee--
And even a rare picture of Mr.
Sunflower and his ex-fiancee, a picture that accompanied the shocking
news that the two of then used to be Olympic ice dancers--
Still to come, some day? The story of
how they broke up. I don't want to give away too many details; let's
just say it involved a bottle of wine, a warm evening, and a pole
vaulter from Estonia. And that's all I'm gonna say for now.
Finally, we've recently been featuring
Mr. Sunflower and his other friend Ms. Butterfly as they've started
training for a co-ed team marathon--
We expect great things from the two of
them in the next few months. In fact, I'll even throw in a sneak
peak at the shot we'll be sharing with our Facebook fans next week of
the two of them training--
That's a Mr. Sunflower picture no one's
yet seen!
If you wanna follow along with his
adventures throughout the year, just make sure you're a fan of our
station Facebook page.
I, meanwhile, should get going, as I'm about to tape the final
episodes of “High School Bowl” for the season. Spoiler-free
details on how that went tomorrow!
