When 17 1/2-year-old Lamonte took the stage (hoisted by dad Roswell) in his "Little House on the Prairie Nellie Oleson" get-up, Gilbert was even more flabbergasted, suggesting there was a bit of an “E.T.-dressed-up-by-Gertie” vibe going on.

Winners of the first-ever Cochecton Pump House canine fashion contest: Bun Bun, Lua Mia and Maggie.
