More on the Cat-in-the-Hat event this Saturday
<h2> The Village Bookstore celebrates the 110th birthday of the creator of Dr. Seuss this Saturday from 10 am - noon. Here is a little more information why his signature RED & White stovepipe hat is so important. You can follow the exhibition when it arrives in Midlothian, Va. in mid-March</h2> <h2> The <em>Hats Off to Dr. Seuss!</em> e<em>xhibition</em> provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view a selection of original hats collected by Dr. Seuss over a period of 60 years.</h2> <p> Ted Geisel began collecting hats from around the world in the 1930s. The first recorded mention of Dr. Seuss’s hat collecton came from his sister, Marnie, who visited Ted in New York in the autumn of 1937. She reported in the <em>Springfield Union-News</em>, November 28, 1937, “Ted has another peculiar hobby—that of collecting hats of every description. Why, he must have several hundred and he is using them as the foundation of his next book.” </p> <h2> That next book—now celebrating its 75th anniversary—was <em>The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins</em>.</h2> <br /> <table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10" width="966"> <tbody> <tr> <td> March 15 - March 30, 2014</td> <td> <a href="http://www.bellaarte.com/" target="_blank">Bella Arte Gallery</a></td> <td> Midlothian, VA</td> <td> 3734 Winterfield Road</td> <td> (804) 794-1511</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p>
