If you happen to pass the site for the forthcoming Bumstead Provisions at 2671-75 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., in Bay View, you really owe it to yourself to take a photo with the cat.
If you do, you could win passes for two to attend one of the friends and family grand opening parties for the grocer-deli-restaurant, which will open sometime this fall.
Just take your photo and post it to social media (Twitter, Facebook or Instagram) with the tag @BumsteadMKE.
That's it. But, it will pay to be creative to set yourself apart from the crowd. So, don't be shy.
Five winners will be chosen between now and the opening to attend the festivities with a guest.
What are you waiting for? Get down to Bay View now and strike your best pose with Bumstead Cat.
