Who
| ALL Ages How the Mice On Main Came To Main Street |
| Jim Ryan For his senior project at Christ Church Episcopal School in 2000, Jim Ryan proposed the idea of installing a family of nine unique mice sculptures in surprising places along Greenville's Main Street from the Hyatt to the Westin Poinsett Hotel. His original idea spun from the book, Goodnight Moon, which he and his mom read every night when he was small. There are nine mice pictured in that story. Count them yourself. Ryan made his way through the red tape involved in any city project and then raised the money, with the assistance of donors and the mayor, to complete his project. Zan Wells Multi-talented Greenville sculptor, Zan Wells, actually created the mice. She and Ryan became a team, and Wells sculpted nine individual bronze mice, each one with his own look, character, and special place on Main Street. Ryan and Wells placed the mice in their permanent places, thus creating Greenville's fanciful downtown scavenger hunt for children of all ages. |

| Who Looks for the Mice on Main Street? Couples, families, business groups, and people out on their own look for the mice. Thanks to Jimmy, all the mice are in their places, ready to greet the scavenger hunters. Uncle Miles, who's part Italian, loved meeting seven-year-old Thomas from Milan, Italy. |
