Harvey Honored in Williamsburg

The big fight between Harvey, and Roscoe the Roster was Friday night, but the post fight festivities lasted all weekend, and into late Monday night. It doesn't seem as if anyone as left this small country town. Everyone is determined to see, and talk to Harvey. His head seems to swell bigger with each passing day. He was an oddity when he first arrived in Williamsburg, Pennsylvania, but now he is a full fledged celebrity.

Harvey has posed for thousands of pictures. Pictures of Harvey alone, and pictures with folks surrounding Harvey. It seems as if everyone wants their picture taken with Harvey. Television and radio stations are standing in line to interview this new found celebrity, and Harvey is eating it up. Reports are that hotels, and motels in a 50 mile radius are filled up. I wonder how much longer this little town can stand up under all the pressure.

Mayor's from all over the area are asking Harvey to come to their cities, and towns. Pop Pop is getting concerned that Harvey will lose sight of his mission if this keeps up much longer. We think there's going to be a "Come to Jesus meeting" between Pop Pop, and Harvey soon. We at "The Espenblog Times" are happy for Harvey, we just want him to stay focused on the job at hand. These other things will work themselves out if he lets them.

Harvey Tee Shirts are the hot commodity right now. As fast as they are made, they fly off the shelves. People from all walks of life are wearing the Harvey Tee Shirts, and Williamsburg is thinking of making a sign that says, 'Harvey was Here," with his picture on it. The town council will be deciding on that one Tuesday night. Don't be surprised if they vote for it, after all, Harvey has put this town on the map.

Last night the Mayor, and Town Council of Williamsburg honored Harvey. There wasn't room to hold all the people, and the main street was flooded with folks. Loud speakers were set up throughout the town so everyone could hear what was being said. Radio, and T.V. staions carried the ceremonies live. When Harvey was introduced the crowd inside, and outside went nuts once again. The now famous HAR-VEY chant was so loud that you couldn't hear yourself think, but Harvey was loving every moment of it. We do say that Harvey really looked sharp in his white tuxedo. He sure does clean up well. The celebration lasted long into the night. Perhaps we can get some rest today. It has been a long weekend for sure.

Who would have ever dreamed that when Harvey came here, this would end up happening? We do want to add in closing that Betty Jo Boondocker is taking the defeat of Roscoe really hard. Roscoe is recovering, but he hasn't been able to crow in the morning since the fight. His beak is still swollen, and his neck is still bent somewhat out of shape, so the Hornblower blows his horn in the morning instead of Roscoe the Rooster crowing. That's a funny sight to behold.
