I tip my glass of lemonade this week to Wilbur the French bulldog for three reasons:
1. I love animals, especially dogs;
2. We all need joy from uncommon places this year; and
3. He is a rescue dog!
Therefore, Wilbur gets the Lemonade of the Week for being elected Mayor of Rabbit Hash, KY at only 6 months old!
In a tradition that dates back to 1998, Rabbit Hash has again elected an animal as Mayor. While it is a ceremonial position and not political one, it does raise funds for the local historical society by charging $1 per vote. People worldwide were able to vote online and this year they raised nearly 23,000 dollars.
The Rabbit Hash mayoral election coincides every four years with the presidential election. The previous mayor, Brynn the Pitbull, held the position from 2016 to 2020.
Congratulations to Wilbur on his achievement and to the second-place dog Jack Rabbit, a therapy dog, who will serve as Ambassador of Rabbit Hash. We wish them a peaceful term.
