Feline Grand Marshal?

At today's Old Settlers Parade, you may not have noticed that the Grand Marshal had a feline counterpart.

Boss Lady, as you may recall, was named 2014 Mooresvillian of the Year, and so was this year's Grand Marshal for the Old Settlers parade. Naturally, as the library's (retired) feline roving reporter, I was there to cover the festivities, but I also was unofficial feline grand marshal.  How cool is that? It's certainly an honor befitting my station, as I once mentioned in this blog post.  Of course, we should include another photo of moi as feline grand marshal.

Yep ... Pretty much

Scowl-Face took some photos of the library's parade float, which was fantastic.  Another great job, Decorinator, BizMeister, and team.  The float included characters from the Peanuts® comic strip, which was created and drawn by the late artist Charles M. Schulz. The float theme was an adaptation of Schulz's book, Happiness is a Warm Puppy (1962) (available to checkout from our Evergreen Indiana catalog). (Scowl-Face's mother gave him a copy of this book when he was a tiny dude.  He still has it.)

Isn't that OfficeMeister pulling the float?

 Happiness is indeed a good book!

Another fine parade.  Now onto the Old Settlers Festival at Mooresville's Pioneer Park.
