Did St. Patrick banish snakes from Ireland? Catholic.org says no, but it’s still a pretty good story. So is the story of my cousin, Melissa Fox. Today she banished all snakes (at least the one we saw) from Orange County’s Great Park.
We were at the park for the regular Sunday Farmers Market. The vicious, poisonous, venomous, dog eating, gigantic snake¹ was under our picnic table as we munched away.
Melissa reached down with her bare hands and sent the snake packing!
She is the bravest of the Fox family. Of that there is no doubt.

That was hardly even a snake. And Doppler is a terrier, no? She should’ve been all over that! My Cairn terier has (unfortunately) eradicated all snakes from my yard, luckily she also has taken care of the mice that the snakes devour.
OMG….. She is VERY brave….Very VERY brave…That was a nice farmers market spoiled by a reptile. Glad Cousin Melissa was there to help! 😛
Melissa was not saving people from the snake. She was saving the snake from people.
She’s hard core in my book. A snake of any size is terror-inducing.
No Video—-No comment. But I gather it was a small snake–since you stood aroung and took pictures! And yeah, my Cairn would have been tossing it about, too.
2nd comment—I will bet you don’t get the great fresh corn that we are presently getting here. It is super sweet and crisp this year.
