We had a great spot today outside beaver-friendly Luigi’s store, where we could display our collection of beaver photos, stories and memorabilia. Financial Title (where our treasurer Donna Mahoney works) printed more coloring books which we were able to distribute for free. Kids and parents enjoyed hearing about the beavers and there was much speculation about when the first new kit might be seen. We had only one beaver foe who expressed continued concerned about flooding, and one very polite un-fan who mentioned getting paid for trapping beavers as a young man on the Canadian border. Mostly, though, it was a beaver fan club and viewing. Worth A Dam received fifty dollars in small change donations just from the event. Thanks Martinez (and beyond) for your support, thanks Luigi for the free diet coke in the hot sun, to your daughter Louisa who was a great help and morale booster, and to everyone who stopped by and told me your beaver sighting stories.
Talk about strange fortune, guess what was on the wall directly across from Worth A Dam? I didn’t dare get too close because he might be sick, poor thing, but check out those toes!
New beaver friend Kelly from the sanitation district tells me this is a Mexican Free-tailed Bat. Thanks!
