Were you aware of it? vol. 12: The Mayor of Rabbit Hash, KY

Rabbit Hash, KY (pop. 40) is a small community in Boone County. In 1998 and again in 2004, Junior the Dog was elected mayor, in an unofficial election. The 2004 mayor died earlier this year, and the town brought the vote for a new mayor online. For a $1 donation to the Rabbit Hash Historical Society, you too could have voted.

Here are a few words, from mayoral candidate, Travis the Cat:

Travis chose Rabbit Hash and you should choose this cat to be the new Mayor of Rabbit Hash. He is the ONLY candidate that actually resides in Rabbit Hash. This gives Travis an advantage because he sees the needs of the town and is always there to greet and meet the needs of the people. He is a hard working cat and he is non-discriminating, but most important he is not intimidated by the other candidates. He is not afraid to stand alone or to be the Top Cat in the Top Hat Vote now, vote often, vote for change, vote Travis!!

Lucy Lou the dog pulled ahead in the polls on election day, though, and now serves as mayor.
