Hi

Every year in the winter Anchorage chooses 30 or so people that they give
fiberglass salmon to, to be decorated. They are then placed around town and
at the end of summer are auctioned off for charity. Many years there has
been one that seems to have a quilty theme to it. If memory serves me
right, something like this is done in or near the Gatlinburg area. It might
have been somewhere else but they used Bears I think.

steve....Are the decorated salmon already on display? I've seen
decorated horses in Saratoga Springs NY...pigs in Brandon VT as well
as rocking chairs and also in Vermont large artist's palettes a couple of
years ago.
I remember a few of those were on display at a quilt show there.
I ask because I'm going to be in Anchorage soon and would be looking
for them ! Thanks, Mary

The Washington Coast also has pelicans (Gray Pelicans). Don't know how far
north they range. They are so magnificent!

Oh, I saw a few of those a couple years ago! I didn't realize it was a
changing exhibit every year. Cool.

It is becoming quite a popular thing.
The first I ever heard of it was the pigs in Cinncinati.
There are moose in Toronto, buffalo in Buffalo, fish in Erie PA and so
on. Our Ash's pediatrician's office bought one of Buffalo's buffalo.
They have it in their airlock.

Nothing has been the same since that house fell on my sister.

Yes, I remember the pigs in Cincinnati! Maybe I was living there at the
time. Or visiting family.

There were cows in Washington, DC one year. Wonder what that was about. . .

Somehow boy cows in particular strike me as being startlingly
appropriate for DC.
Particularly if they are posed with a shovel near their backsides.
