We put the Cushman up on some tissue boxes in the near the milk coolers so everyone could see it.  I don't know how long the contest ran.  As I remember, Saturday night was the night we washed the floor after the store closed.  We had 4 kids do the floors.  One kid ran the machine and the rest of us mopped the floor.  I think it usually took us a couple of hours to do our job.  One weekend after the store closed we took the Cushman down and then went over to Hohenshell's gas station and got some gas.  Then we rode the scooter around in the aisles of the store.  We had forgotten that the tires would make black marks on the floor, so we had to spend more time scrubbing those off.  There was some haze in the store from the exhaust, so we went up and down the isles with aerasol cans and sprayed the air to get rid of the smell.  I am sure we didn't ride it very long but it was fun at the time.  We were 18 year old kids so this was exciting.  I hope I don't get into trouble for telling this story.
