Tammy Mitchell picked up her new red F-150 on Friday, May 28, 2021.
Showroom truck served as collection site for supply drive
Tammy Mitchell will drive back to Harrison today in her new 2021 Rapid Red Ford F-150 4×4 Supercrew from Krapohl Ford & Lincoln.
She wanted to pick up the vehicle earlier this week, but it served as the collection site in Krapohl’s showroom for items dropped off as part of Kay’s Way: The Women’s Initiative Drive to Support Women and Girls.
No problem, Tammy said.
The Ford F-150 served as the collection site for the supply drive.
The drive to fill the F-150 ended Thursday with the truck bed filled with shampoo, lotion, dental hygiene products, tampons, pads, hair products and more.
Now Tammy can have her dream vehicle and get back her business. The dog groomer of 35 years launched Bark and Bathe in Harrison four years ago. It’s a busy time as people have their pups groomed heading into the warmer summer months. At Bark and Bathe, Tammy provides grooming, nail trims, nail grinding, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, baths, brushing and haircuts for all breeds.
Funny thing is, Tammy really wasn’t in the market for a new truck. She was about halfway through a lease of a Ford Ranger, and she was fond of it because it reminded her of a Ranger she drove in the late 1990s. Then she saw a blue F-150 in the showroom at Krapohl. Her husband, Richard, encouraged her to get it. She told sales team member James Yun she’d love to have it.
“James worked out a buyout of the lease, but by then the blue truck was gone,” Tammy said.
To which James responded, “We do have a nice red one …”
