Schmitty the Weather Dog Holiday Appearance at Lee's Art Shop

Schmitty the Weather Dog and children's author, Elly McGuire, will appear at Lee's Art Shop on West 57th in New York City from 6 pm to 8 pm on December 19 to read their book Schmitty the Weather Dog: Daydream. They also will give autographs and pawtographs.

Joining Elly and her furry muse will be Meteorologist Ron Trotta, who bears a striking resemblance to the main character in Schmitty the Weather Dog: Daydream. Trotta and Schmitty inspired Elly to relate the story of a persistent pooch who overcomes obstacles to help her two-legged dad pursue his dream of being a meteorologist. As in the book, Trotta's weather forecasts - or pawcasts as they call them - are more accurate with Schmitty's help.

You also will now be able to purchase Schmitty the Weather Dog's signature fashions, previously available online only, at Lee's Art Shop on West 57th Street. Leashes, collars and harnesses, all featured in the Schmitty The Weather Dog: Daydream book, will be part of the New Yorkie display, along with the book, on the first floor of Lee's Art Shop. Other items including Doggie Tees and hats will be part of the new display.

Lee's Art Shop, a family-owned business since 1951, sells art supplies, kids' creative gifts, custom framing and more.
