The McDermott Mascott
The Story Of The Lil' Guy
Long ago in Ireland wandered a little old man. This little old man roamed the valleys and farms of Ireland all alone. With years and years behind him, the little old man had the wildest tales to tell and the most valuable secrets to divulge. The little old man was commonly known as the “Lil’ Guy.” For although he was nicknamed the Lil’ Guy, his mysterious visions were anything but little. Oh, the visions he saw!

He was disregarded by anyone he encountered and was laughed at for his prophecies. This did not discourage him because day after day he would wake up after his night of enchanting dreams and was determined with all of his heart to bring the wonders he experienced to Ireland.

One night, a night like any other night, the Lil’ Guy was contently whistling an old Irish tune, “The Jolly Beggar,” when he decided to rest. If just one person listened to him! The next morning as the Lil’ Guy awoke, he looked around for a walking stick to keep his old bones at ease as he started up his day. He found a peculiar looking stick next to the haystack he slept on. It was taller than he, with a rounded end. He raised one of his bushy, black eyebrows and wrinkled up his pale large nose at it. No matter, it was a stick and served the purpose he needed.

As he started on his journey, people actually stopped and took notice of him today. What was so different about today?

The Lil’ Guy moseyed on past the O’Brien’s farm and then passed the McDermott’s farm. The McDermott’s approached him, and as they did they sensed something special. Four words were uttered that changed the life of the Lil’ Guy. “I believe in you.”

The mystical wonders held within the Lil’ Guy were then revealed to the McDermott's. Go ahead-experience the wonders of the Lil’ Guy. You’ll never know until you experience it yourself.

We believe in the Lil’ Guy…do you?
