At top, Ginny Furnish portrayed the “Cat in the Hat” at the Pre-school Story Time on March 5. The youngsters were enthralled with the adventures of the “Cat” and also enjoyed dancing with Bill Evans at the piano. Miss Ginny then helped her “little kittens” with coloring and crafts. The cat theme continued on March 8 at Family Story Time when kids of all ages enjoyed meeting Scarlet, the Guinness World Record’s “Tallest Domestic Cat in the World,” at bottom. Lee Draper of Savannah Cat Breeders owns the friendly cat.
