Daddy John: In 2024 I won the Sasha Festival Seed Money Raffle. The prize was a Gregor, whom I named Chance Victor, and 36 separate outfits representing different U.S. states.
At first, I had planned on dressing only Chance Victor in the outfits but as I redress my boys maybe twice a year, I realized it would take me forever to get through even half of the raffle clothes.
I've finally shared the outfits out amongst my Gregors (nicknamed the 'Terrific Ten') and will present them across the occasional blog post. Today, we have the fourth set of 5.
Philip Guy has talked Stephen Orange away from his aquariums and into the great outdoors to observe native wildlife, like birds, rather than fish.
Philip's North Carolina ensemble is perfect for birding and hiking! Peggy L. and Ellen C. included the necessary accessories of a walking stick, bird guide, neckerchief, and binoculars.
Meanwhile, Stephen Orange wears this Vermont combo of Autumn leaves pattern turtleneck and denim overalls. It included a bright red duffle coat, which we didn't need as it was 85° in Minneapolis today! That Sheila F. must be chained to her sewing machine.
Here's BR (and Annabelle) with a white t-shirt supporting the University of Arkansas Razorbacks! Also included is a pair of khaki cargo pants. Outfit by Miss Tree (say it fast).
Cowboy-wannabe Pete Dakota grabbed this Montana rancher's collection by JoAnn 🌟. A cowboy hat, sheepskin vest, plaid button-down shirt, jeans, and boots. What every rancher needs to round up his little doggies.
Pete Dakota: Howdy, pardners!
Okay, in all honesty each outfit is my favorite, but this next one has to be one of the coolest.
Chance Victor is dressed as Beverly Cleary's young hero, Henry Huggins from Oregon. He's got a canvas bucket hat, orange-striped shirt, and dark blue pants. Additionally, there's Henry's newspaper pouch, some newspapers, and....Henry's very own dog, Ribsy! This fantastic set is by Erin H. Impressive!
