Feeling Woolly

We're off to the the cooler temperatures of Western North Carolina once again to attend the 2007 Woolly Worm Festival.
Jessie and Ben plan on racing for the grand prize each day. If the stars and planets align or better yet, I get in touch with Barry Bonds to locate some WGH (worm growth hormones) we could return home an extra $1500 over what I sell this weekend!

Now the key in putting a woolly worm into racing form is to come up with an excellent race name. The kids are already working on theirs. There's a good chance we'll get to check in here via one of my artist friend's laptop so here's your assignment while we're away...

What would you name your woolly worm?

Be as clever as you can. In fact I'll mail the winner an 8" x 10" giclee' print of a Ben & Bennie painting! So spread the word. The victor doesn't have to be a regular reader here but knowing how...er...ummm....intelligent most of you are I'd put good odds on the folks on my blogroll.

An example (from last year's races): Dale Wormhardt.

By the way the winner will be determined by family votes. Good luck!
