Smokey the Bear!

Monday evening story time was a special night at the Library.  There was a special guest reader, who read the story of Smokey, and then the kids got a special visit from Smokey!

Carson gave him a hug and Gabe gave him a high-five.  He still isn't ready to hug him.

 

This is as close as Gabe would get to Smokey last year at the Yreka Fair.  

This year he did give him "five!"
