This contest has ended. See below for the winner.
MinnPost is proud to be a sponsor for this year’s Minnesota Fringe Festival. On July 1, the Fringe launched their new website featuring show descriptions, times, locations, and a funky little kitty logo:
MinnPost followers on Twitter, this little kitty needs a name! Join Twitter, follow @MinnPost, and tweet a name befitting the mascot representing hundreds of performances of dozens of eclectic shows. Make sure #mp140 is in your tweet.
The winner will receive Fringe Festival treats! Contest ends Wednesday morning. Good luck!
The Fringe Festival staff has spoken, and they’ve selected “Wobbles” for the name of their kitty mascot! Congrats to Nick Busse from St. Paul!

Give kitty a perm and then name it “Kitty With the Fringe on Top.”
I think SPOTLIGHT would be a good name for Fringecat.
Or perhaps PROPS (slang: respect, recognition. regular: objects used in a play.)
