Talk about making stories come alive!
This Saturday, author Sheila Mealy will be in Southeast to read  ”Nate the Mammoth Jack,” which is a children’s story of Tilly Foster Farm’s Mammoth Jackstock Donkey. The story is for children 3 to 8 years old and the reading wil ltake place in the farm’s big barn.
Nate is 8 years old and came to Tilly Foster November 2008. He stands 14.1 hands tall. According to Tilly Foster materials, George Washington was involved in developing this donkey breed as a farm-worker mule. Actually, I think he is quite handsome and it is nice the way he mugged for the camera. (The photo to the right of Nate is from Tilly Foster’s Web site.)
The reading is at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 13. Reservations are required, call 845-279-4474.
