We were at a folk song gathering today, one that has now run for over 30 years. At the end of the day there was a parade of large paper mache puppets followed by children and pipers. This is a mascot parade that has gone on for many years.
The lead mascot was... an orange striped tabby cat done large. This figure towered over the others in the parade by at least 2 feet, smiling down on the crowd and wearing the name of the festival across his (or her) chest. There was a dog behind the cat, but the face painting on the children in the parade left little doubt as to the favored animal at this event. I suppose that the dog owners who regularly attend this event (with their dogs) are used to it by now.
