Pulaski courthouse now in carvings
PULASKI - The Old Pulaski County Courthouse, which has generated sales of photographs, paintings and jewelry in its likeness since its restoration, is now available in wood as well.
The Colony of Virginia is the exclusive distributor of the carvings by crafts people representing the Cat's Meow Village production company in Wooster, Ohio.
A tiny cat silhouette in front of the courthouse, designated as "Casper," is the maker's trademark. It appears on all Cat's Meow products.
The store is located across Main Street from the courthouse, which was renovated and refurbished after a fire at the end of 1989. It reopened in 1992.
