- 11.20 Smiley Pete, The Magnificent Moocher In Person
-
Maximum Enrollment: 80
Honored as a Carnegie Lawyers Reading to Children award-winning book, Smiley Pete, The Magnificent Moocher illumines a beloved homeless dog. The presentation will include a reading by the author and also a clip from the trailer for the film. The story unravels the colorful antics of a stray dog who showed up on a Lexington street corner and made himself at home in a cardboard box for the next fourteen years - showering affection on all who happened to pass by his corner. The dog's kindness to street-persons as well as governors, shoe shine boys and race horse kings won him the town's heart. The unlikely friendship of this rag-tag moocher with other well-recognized historical figures inspires compassion for all who call the streets home - those who push their only belongings in grocery carts, or who wait for the whisper of a sweet evening breeze. Inspired by truth – with some poetic license- Smiley Pete was presented as a staged-reading (film script) for the Blue Grass Trust; there is also a film clip trailer. The screenplay is presently under a Shopping Agreement with two Los Angeles producers for production as a feature film. And the book continues to raise awareness of homeless dogs – and benefit local humane societies. The author enjoys hearing stories from those who may also remember Smiley Pete.
