February 16 – 20
Abby & Bill have tickets to the Huntsville Classic, featuring Rob Thomas, May 9 at The Orion.
A serial thief has been stealing towels, shoes, goggles, and even swimming trunks for over a year at a school in New Zealand. Once School officials checked security cameras, they found footage showing a literal cat burglar dragging a large towel across the playground. Yes a black cat, now known as Slinky Malinky, has finally been apprehended. The groundskeeper tracked down
the owners who say their cat is a notorious thief. Slinky’s big stash was located behind the school’s gym. School officials are hoping this helps kids remember to put their things in their bag!
A potato farmer in Idaho recently gave away millions of pounds of potatoes to food banks and charities. Kent
had a huge crop this year and couldn’t sell them all. So instead of letting them go to waste he said he wanted to see them go to hungry people.Then we have Michael….a grocery store cashier in Georgia with special needs. Micheal has worked at the same Publix for more than a decade. People love him so much they’ll wait in line for 30
minutes just to go thru his checkout lane.It’s a baby boom at they Kansas City Zoo where they welcomed their third baby giraffe in less than four months. Nora, is six feet tall right now. She’ll eventually grow to be around 15 feet.
A 6 year old girl scout just set a new sales record by selling 87,000 cookie boxes in one season. And She’s hoping to sell more than 100,000 by the end of March. Pim’s goal is to fund a troop camp…and of course win all those prizes.
