WHAT DO A HEN AND A POSSUM HAVE IN COMMON?

Well for one thing...they might inhabit the same territory. As in a possum might sneak into the chicken coop to suck a couple of eggs down for a late night snack.

And it has been heard about town that Mother Hen is actually running for the title of Possum Queen! "What is the world coming to," you ask?

It's all very easy to explain, officer... See there is this contest for the much coveted title of Possum Queen. The contest is the brainchild of some smarty-pants PR person years ago that thought it would be the perfect way to raise money for the spry folks at the St. Paul Golden Age Center.

Well, it worked and these days, everyone wants that darn crown! My stiffest competition is coming from one of our favorite writers, Hollis Gillespie. She'll be tough to beat but it's all for a great cause. Come out & enjoy the fun if you have a minute The Festival is this Sunday 5/17. There will be food... Hopefully NOT possum.

Votes are $1.00 - You can donate online just follow the St. Paul GAC link above & scroll down.
