When I got back from the holiday break this past Monday, I came across some wacky videos from the self proclaimed "Funniest Hardware Store in America". The series features neighbors being saved from unfortunate moments by the small town store that has everything you need from "rocket powered skateboards" to "buckets of steam". The videos are blowin' up on Facebook and You Tube and the folks at Bowdoinham Hardware now have fans not only from Maine, but from all over the planet. And to make things even sweeter, Corey Troup the owner and "affable knucklehead" star of the videos is a lifelong Blimpster! So when I reached out and invited him to stop by the show, he proudly let me know that WBLM would be his very first media appearance since becoming Maine's latest viral star. Very cool! We had a wicked blast on the air together and Corey was nice enough to bring along some very special items from the store...including a "toilet sniffer", a "chest hair remover" and a "bag of air".

He's got plenty of air for sale up theah and it came in handy recently for his neighbor at the Bowdoinham Airport .

 

 

Now Corey is workin' on how to feature the Blimp in one of his videos...stay tuned!
