Harry Catter is the first entry in the Midnight Cafe, Cat's In Costumes Contest!

The cat behind the costume is really Wendell Pawson. He is an avid reader of books and when the Harry Catter series came out, he was hooked. When Wendell saw the signs around town advertising the contest, he knew right away that he was going to dress as Harry. He headed straight home from school, ran upstairs to his Grandfathers room and started milling through the closet. He was delighted to find the purr-fect blazer, striped tie and an old pair of reading glasses. He asked Grandpa if it was OK that he uses those things for his costume, and with a slight grumble, Grandpa said sure. Wendell popped out the prescription lenses and figured nobody would notice and then got to work on his magic wand. He used an old wooden spoon he found in the shed. Wendell added a touch of gold paint on the top, and wallah, MAGIC! 

He decided to have a dress rehearsal in front of his family before actually submitting his entry. He looked at himself in the mirror first and knew his costume needed one last touch. Harry Catter wears a blazer with a fish on it, hmmm, where am I gonna get a fish? Wendell headed down to the candy store cause he knew he saw a red fish there. Yup, a swedish fish will do the trick. Sure, its a bit sticky, but it looks great!

The Pawson's all cheered when Wendell came to show off his entry. They all hugged him, not realizing the fish was so sticky, so after replacing the first fish, Wendell headed down to the Midnight Cafe to get his photo taken and fill out the entry form. Good Luck Wendell!!
