In Kentuckys song-filled landscapes dwells the StrumHare, a whimsical jackrabbit-like creature born of banjos and guitar picks. Its glossy, banjo-shaped body, guitar-string tail, and tuning peg ears create a melodic silhouette. Strumming rhythmic tunes on its belly with pick-tipped feet, it fills the wilderness with its enchanting symphony.
