GARNER, N.C. - Scotty McCreery put the town of Garner, on the map of North Carolina. Today, the city is planning to implement the places where the last "American Idol" goes to school, worked and prayed on a map as well.
A family of Michigan went its way to stop in Garner on the path of the return of Myrtle Beach, s.c., at the instigation of the teenage daughter, spokesman for city Rick Mercier said Thursday, a day after McCreery won Fox television talent. In addition, city officials are hearing anecdotal stories of people who wish to see resounding Scotty for themselves.
"After that, we thought, and perhaps we should come up with a bit of the map," said Mercier.
The card would include Garner Magnet High School, where Scotty is still a junior; First Baptist Church, which Scotty and his family will attend. Grocery store of Lowe, where Scotty worked as a cashier and bagger; the Auditorium history Garner, one of the first places Scotty sang in public. and Park of Benson Lake, where Scotty conducted a few weeks ago when "Idol" reduced competitors to three finals.
Scotty, 17, bat 16 years Lauren Alaina of Rossville, GA, an another country crooner. She was the first final of all countries in the history of "Idol", and competitors were the youngest ever to compete for the title.
Signs of support remain in Garner, including one at the edge of the nearest city of downtown Raleigh, which reads "this Scotty country." But the s Lowe, where Scotty works cash register no. 2 upon his return to the home visit on 14 may, Manager Terry Mascaro said that the store is to be "de-Scotterized."
Fans "began to come and seizing a piece of whatever they could get" Thursday, he said, laughing. Posters have disappeared, and the display of Coca-Cola stated "Vote for Scotty" was taken down Thursday. But he gave a cutout one-of-a-kind, life-size Scotty Fund No. 2.
And the other that a card as possible, Garner has no immediate plan to capitalize on the fame of Scotty until, perhaps, he comes home again. And people are uncertain when it will because it goes on the "Idol" tour, including a decision of 27 July at the Centre of RBC in Raleigh, in the same place where fans gathered for a watch party is on Wednesday evening to see Scotty win.
"The 14th was our big chance to show ourselves", Mercier said, referring to the visit of return home of Scotty. "We were told by other cities with"idol"finalists which is your chance to shine."
Garner high school, Scotty reminders remain, including the small doors of front watch parties advertising posters. In the choir room, a picture framed with photos of the members of the choir of the previous school year is still on the floor. Scotty is smiling in a photograph on the left of his favourite teacher, Meredith Clayton, his bow tie slightly dishonest.
As main Drew Cook travelled the corridors of the school of 2,200 - student Thursday, a student is prevented. "Hey, Mr. Cook." "I'm going on 'idol' next year," said the student. Cook advised him to begin practicing immediately.
"This is the thing cool about it," said Cook. "They have the opportunity to see one of their classmates who had all kinds of hopes and dreams, and his dream is realized right in front of them." They can see that if you work hard, you're talented and do you things correctly, you can be successful. ?
