Press Release for the Granpa Cratchet Puppetmobile

Featuring Granpa’s General Store Delivery Truck – Take the Garbage Out tour

 

Headline: Granpa Cratchet to Pick Up and Spread Garbage

 Watch out, here he comes! It’s Granpa Cratchet in his miniature Garbage Truck driving across the grounds of our event gathering up garbage and dispensing some garbage (That’s what Granma calls most of Granpa’s tall stories). Besides all the silly jokes and puns about garbage Granpa will also be teaching kids that life is what you make it, so take out the garbage and put in the good.

Granpa’s old time garbage truck is hilarious and this off the wall, high energy, very hip

Granpa brings new meaning to the term trash talk. You might hear something like, “Every year people in the U.S. produce enough trash to fill sixty three thousand garbage trucks.” Or, “If laid end to end all the disposable diapers thrown out each year would equal the distance of seventrips to the moon. And smell really bad, too.” But there’s no trash at all in the main message Granpa will be spreading: Garbage In, Garbage out.

Life is what you make it, so take the garbage out! Granpa will also be autographing his giant Garbage In, Garbage Out wall posters, which the kids can get after his stage show in the Granpa Cratchet keep-the-garbage-out Fun Pack. The kids can put this giant full color wall poster up in their rooms as a reminder of their fun visit with Granpa at our event and to help them remember to help mom take out the garbage, as well as keep the garbage out of their life. On the back of the poster is a fun game full of all kinds of silly garbage tid bits and important points that teach the kids to watch what they put into their minds, their bodies and their hearts. Kids and parents can visit Granpa anytime on the web at oldcoot.com for more free fun facts and games that teach about keeping our planet clean and their lives free of garbage such as alcohol, drugs or tobacco.

Granpa’s garbage truck is a lot of fun in and of itself. It’s full of music, silly sounds and special effects. The radiator squirts, the garbage compactor groans and you can actually hear things being smashed in the back. You might say, “I hear that every day on our street at home.” But you’re never seen a garbage truck that can fit in the front seat of a garbage truck! If you want a sneak preview check him out on the web at www.oldcoot.com where you can also play free games and learn important garbage tidbits.

This little miniature truck looks just like the real thing and it’s driven by a puppet too boot. This you have never seen and its something you absolutely have to see. Your kids will love Granpa, but he’s not a good driver, so watch out. In fact his driving has created a lot of the trash he has to haul off. He says, “Most people get bugs on their wind shield, but I get mail boxes, old ladies and vinyl siding.” He usually adds, “If you don’t like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk.” He might even drive right up to you and offer to dispose of your bright tropical shirt or your purse, if it happens to have a lot of cash in it. In any case, you’ll have a ton of fun and a lot of laughs with Granpa and his miniature garbage truck. Like he always says, “Don’t forget. If you crash it call Granpa to trash it.” Or, he always adds, he’ll trash it for you for a small extra fee. It’sall fun and it’s all free. Come on out and see Granpa and his miniature garbage truck at the Jefferson County Fair.
