The poor homely Sadie Hawkins was daughter to DogPatch resident Hezekbiah Hawkins. At thirty-five years of age, Sadie Hawkins was considered to be an old maid, her father, Hezekbiah in pure desperation, declared the day to be called the Sadie Hawkins Day. He said that since his daughter could not find a husband he would help her along. Once his gun was fired the guy’s would start to run, after they had a pretty good lead, but not too good, the gun would be fired again and the girl’s would start to run after them, once a guy was caught by a girl and forced over the finish line he would then have to get married to her.
