Bella Celebrates Birthday at Forget-Me-Nots
Advertisement
It was a big day for Bella, the birthday girl, at Forget- Me-Nots on South Washington street in Danville. Last year’s celebration was canceled due to the COVID-19 crisis, so this year’s party packed twice the punch. After all, you only turn three once!
The gregarious Golden Retriever greeted guests with a wag of the tail. Her special friend, the mailman, made delivery of a treat. Outside the store, a tray of paw-print cupcakes were for the taking.

On Monday, April 12, at 1 p.m., the Genealogy Nuts meeting will feature the Indiana Room’s own Cindy Rutledge. She will talk about Transcribing Historic Documents.
