Why was Colonel Sanders at the Blue Jays Game?

Last night many people saw a surprise appearance  of a very recognizable person (or his ghost!) sitting behind the home plate!

The surprise appearance of a guy dressed up as Colonel Sanders delighted sports fans in Canada, USA, and everywhere! 

Images of Colonel Sanders at the Blue Jays game exploded over social media. Everyone had a good laugh and a lot of fun sharing pics!

Who was he and what’s he doing there?

Who is that guy and why was he dressed as Colonel Sanders?

Was he just a random guy with a great sense of humor and a fun costume?

Everyone who saw him was delighted, amused. laughing and sharing pics.

Turns out it was a marketing strategy created by Kentucky Fried Chicken.  Very successful and very fun for all who saw it or heard about it from friends.

Apparently “Colonel Sanders” at the Blue Jays game has appeared previously at other sporting events as well. Just not so visible to Canadians as this appearance was.  

The real Colonel Sanders has ties to Canada as well. He lived in Mississauga Ontario for several years setting up Canadian KFC franchises.

What's the link to counselling and mental health?

One of the key elements to good mental wellness is connection with others. Simple feel-good stories and events that we can share with others lighten our mood and help us feel connected – even in a small way – with other people.

And of course humour is always a good way to boost mood and lighten up.

Giving yourself a daily dose of comedy or laughter is a small thing you can do to help boost your mood.
