The sales were great, sales people dressed up like it was Halloween, and there were hundreds of people shopping downtown and Sunset Plaza. In the 90s, Crazy Daze started to wane. No one dressed up and the sales weren’t enticing. It’s sad, really, that the merchants don’t see that Crazy Daze was more than just a sale. It was the entire community coming together and enjoying the day, shopping, putting money back in the economy, and maybe sparking new loyalty for your store. I used to return to Enid just for Crazy Daze, but I haven’t done that in a few years because it’s just not the even it used to be. Kudos to Gayle and her team for making this work!
