In 2000, a local high school student came up with an idea that would inspire Greenville residents and visitors alike to feel as if, when they visited downtown they had stepped into an extrordinary place with character and individuality. Nine little bronze mice are placed up and down Main Street. Goodnight Moon is the children’s book that the mice idea came from. A bronzed sculpture of the book and one mouse are mounted on the fountain in front of the Hyatt Regency hotel and the other eight mice are installed along a nine-block stretch of Main Street between the Hyatt & the Westin Poinsett hotels. You can pick up a hint sheet and go in search of all nine of the little mice that are somewhere along Main Street. We had been wanting to do this since we first arrived here 2 years ago so today we set out with a our friends Cheryl and Jay, in search of the mice and found them all. What fun! We ran into numerous other people who were also searching. Most are fairly easy to find with the hints given but one in particular is quite difficult as it is up on a sign and peeking down on you. We got lots of exercise and had a fun day with friends. We also did a lot of geocaching today and I will be posting about some of those in the next few posts.
I am sitting by the first mouse and plaque that are shown in the previous two photos
this is mouse #5, she is up high and looking down on you making her more difficult to spot
