Says Nancy Guinn: “This one was our customers’ favorite! I dressed up as Piglet and she dressed up as me. Finding dog Converse (sneakers) was a challenge!”

Not quite a costume photo, but close enough. Says Sherry Shupe: “Our store cat Grace won’t wear a costume, but she loves to snuggle with this guy.”
