White roses for York?
Those of you who read this blog frequently know that I'm a fan of public art projects. I recently wrote about some cool stuff I saw during an April trip to Seattle.
Remember how much fun it was when the Cow Parade came to Harrisburg in 2004? People were walking around downtown to see all the different cows up close and snap pictures. Anchorage does the same with salmon, Baltimore had crabs, Silver Spring, Md. had terrapins.
The latest news is that Philadelphia is asking artists to paint fiberglass sculptures of the popular Phillie Phanatic. I doubt the York Revolution's Downtown mascot is a recognizable enough icon for this to work in York, but what about doing White Roses?

Cow parade?? fun???? OK, if you say so, I'll take your word on it!! Only in Central Pennsylvania could such an event occur! I guess the Farm Show and high numbers of cows out in pasture aint enough.

Actually, the Cow Parade happens all over the world. It's been held in London, Boston and Madrid. Artists turn fiberglass cows into colorful and creative displays that represent their city or organization.
It was an honor for Harrisburg and it created awesome work!
