RAT TRESPASSES INTO LAKEFRONT FOUNTAIN; POLICE PURSUE BUT FAIL TO NAB THE MISCREANT

Minutes after Habib was chased from the fountain by security, a police foot chase ensued, pursuing the soggy River Rat across Lakefront Square in Kelowna!

 “(while huffing and puffing) Did anyone see where that tall blue man went?  These wet tracks lead to the beer tent, but no one with a funny hat was visible there.”

 -Kelowna Police Officer

 “Honey!  Did you see that flash of wet blue?  I think it was Bigfoot, but it was wearing a funny hat!”

 -Elderly man before giving his statement to the police

 

Habib, caught here in the Kelowna Lakefront fountain.  He was seen minutes later, running away from the police, scrambling the catch a cab while trailing water across the square!

Hi!  My name is Habib, and I'm from Edmonton! I've never been inside sparking water before, so this is such an exciting trip for me!
