Kitties

The July lobby exhibit is a collection of kitty figurines on loan from Ann Miner.

Here's Ann's story:
Laura Davis was a Colby resident who co-founded the recycling center here. I got to know her through that, and because her kids and mine played soccer together.
She loved cats, and had quite a collection of figurines as well as three live cats. When she succumbed to cancer in 2009, we temporarily adopted her three cats and her sons decoded to bequeath a selection of her cat figurines to us as well. I wish I knew the stories these kitties tell - where did each come from? Were they gifts or pieces Laura chose? Other than the blue ceramic cat I picked up for her in Mexico, these cat tales are unknown.
