I don't know if they will auction them later but Detroit now has trash
cans around the city.

Lawrence, KS -- Jayhawks
Topeka, KS -- Puffys (train engines...to celebrate the upcoming
opening of the Great Overland Station)
As for St. Paul they change annually but associate with the Peanuts
characters as that is where Charles Schulz started his famous comic
strip.

Dear All:
I couldn't help but wonfder if, collectively, we can name all the
varied
decorated animal sculpture fundraisers. I've jotted down what I
could find.
I hope others might add those I missed.
Zurich started it all in 1998 with cows. Chicago, with a history
of
stockyards, duplicated Zurich's idea in 1999. New York,
mysteriously, chose
cows, too . . . also 1999. (It's kept going and going . . . for
more, see:
http://www.cowparade.com/)
Since then, other cities have chosen other animalian forms,
including:
Augusta (GA) - golf balls
(How masterful!)
Boston (MA) - cod
(Perhaps they should have done tea cups?)
Buffalo (NY) - buffalo
(Duh!)
Cincinnati (OH), Des Moines (IA), Seattle (WA) - pigs
(Oink! Iowa raises 'em, Cincinnati slaughters 'em - but Seattle?
Perhaps a
coffee bean or computer chip?)
Lexington (KY) - horses
(Of courses! Del Mar also did horses. Anyone else?)
Lincoln (IL) - dogs
(Never been there, so "no comment" will have to suffice.)
Los Angeles (CA) - angels
(Talk about irony?)
Los Gatos - cats
(Makes sense, huh? See: www.losgatosartcats.org/index.php)
Nashville (TN) - catfish
(Bottom feeders . . . YUM!)
New Orleans (LA) and Richmond (VA) - fish
(Perhaps a string of multi-colored beads or a big bottle of booze
would have
been appropriate for New Orleans?)
upper New York state (Finger Lake Community College) - deer
(see: http://www.brynmawr.edu/Alumnae/bulletin/fiete.htm)
Norfolk (VA) - mermaids
(How Copenhagen!)
Omaha (NE) - humanoid figures
(I was living in Omaha at the time. Some designs were interesting,
but the
form indicates some hidden unknown. See:
http://www.jdoeproject.com/)
Orlando (FL) - lizards
(Maybe they were really geckos?)
Rochester (NY) - Maybe I missed the theme animal?
(See
www.democratandchronicle.com/entertainment/arts/features/ent_1119.shtml)
St. Paul (MN) - Snoopy
(No such thing as creativity . . .)
Tampa Bay (FL) - turtles
(Slow moving . . . appropriate for Florida?)
Toronto (ON) & Whitefish (MT) - moose
(I grew up in Toronto, but never saw a moose in the city until
this. Maybe in
Whitefish you can see moose in the streets?)
By now, I wonder if this phenomenon has ridden the wave too far,
crashing
against the jagged rocks along the shore?
