Every year just before school starts and the summer residents head south our community celebrates Story Days. There is a fire dept. pancake breakfast fund raiser, parade, quilt show, library book sale fund raiser, pig roast, inflatable rides, yard sales, art displays, and music. This year's theme was "gifts of the mountain".
(book sale~ Shelter fund raising kitten~a t-shirt & bumper sticker I thought were funny...click to enlarge)Wednesday night Zoe decided she wanted to be in the parade for the first time. She found an instructional mask making video on Youtube and spent yesterday (with a little help) making a white wolf mask. I was skeptical that she would be able to finish on such short notice but she pulled it off beautifully.
(Zoe in the parade)It's a pretty small town (population 600) so there was a lot of speculation on who was underneath that mask. Word got around fairly quickly and within an hour people were commenting to her on the street about how much they liked it. She had a really good time clawing and growling at the little kids although she drew the line when Trash wanted her to perform tricks for him.
(quilts and wood carving displays)So that's a peek at our little town's ritual end of summer celebration.
Hope you are all having a GREAT weekend!
