Wacofabulous, chapter 1.

Within the past several years, Ted Nugent, yes, he of 1980s hair band rocker fame, left his Michigan roots for Central Texas.  Specifically, McLennan County.

And Waco welcomed him with open arms, even allowing him the opportunity to write a weekly column for our humble newspaper.

Now Ted has participated in that Waco tradition, that weekend rite of passage.  Ted held a garage sale.

But this was no average garage sale.  In addition to the Waco Tribune-Herald‘s comprehensive coverage:

  • Ted advertised his garage sale via his column in last Sunday’s paper.
  • Rather than have bargain hunters, fans, and crunchy people come to his home, Ted rented a building at the Heart O’ Texas Fair Complex.
  • Not only did Ted rent a building, he advertised his garage sale on the fairgrounds’ marquee.
  • “What’s for sale?” you ask?  Ted’s taxidermy – stuffed trophy animals and/or animal heads, including a rhino head, that he and his wife cannot fit into their house to which they’re downsizing.

If that’s not “Wacofabulous,” I don’t know what is.  I can only wait to hear what Mammaw has to say about it when she reads this week’s Sunday paper.
