Youngsters, animals march from library to history museum for contest
eweaver@kingsmountainherald.com
Over 30 pets and 100 people paraded
down Piedmont Avenue Wednesday
morning for Mauney Memorial
Library's “Pets on Parade.” They
marched, in no certain order, from the
library to the back of the Kings
Mountain Historical Museum, where a
contest was held to award some of the
crowd’s most unique characteristics.
A “Most Unusual” ribbon was given
to a ferret. Bandit the cat fittingly
received a ribbon for being the one with
the “Most Hair.” The pets with the
“Most Spots,” the “Best Tricks,” the
“Best Dressed,” the “Longest,” the
“Largest” and many others were
awarded that day just for being them-
selves.
KMPD Officer. Todd McDougal
talked to the crowd of kids and parents
about German Shepherds and the
importance of police dogs.

Allie Stumbo fed her baby horse,
Moonstrike, during the presentation. At
about two weeks old, he stands about
three feet tall. Moonstrike’s mother died
when he was a newborn and his previ-
ous owners thought he would not make
it, so Stumbo rescued him. She contin-
ues to feed him bottled milk every day
and every night at three hour intervals.
She said that he used to fall down a lot
but he is gradually getting better on his
feet. He walked the parade with the
other animals and stayed by Stumbo’s
side the rest of the day.
“Pets on Parade” was part of the sum-
mer reading program “Paws, Claws,
Scales and Tales? at Mauney Memorial.
The End of Summer Reading
Celebration “Zippity Zoo” will be held

Rick Murphrey and Children’s
Librarian Christy Conner will be forced
to kiss a pig for the kids who've met the
library's reading goals.

Allie Stumbo
brought her 2-
week-old colt,
Moonstrike, to
the parade.
His previous
owners were
afraid that
they would
have to put
him down
since his
mother died
during child-
birth but the
Stumbos
claimed him
and are nurs-
ing him back
to health. He
seems to be
more steady
on his feet
these days.
