The Lyons Peppermint Days Committee has embarked upon a really fun and silly fund raiser called "Get Flocked!" The idea is simple...pick a friend and "flock" 'em! Under the cover of darkness, the Peppermint Days Committee will amass a flock of those tacky, iconic, plastic pink flamingos on your unsuspecting friends front yard! You can "flock" a friend with 12 birds for $15.00, 24 birds for $20.00 or you can utilize the whole damn flock of 36 for $25.00!! Along with our pink friends, a GIANT pair of underwear will be posted to announce to all that your friend has been "flocked" by the Peppermint Days Committee--the birds will hang out on your friends' lawn for 24 hours before moving on to another unsuspecting homeowner.
For those that really don't want to wake-up to find these plastic beauties relaxing in their front yard, "Flocking Insurance" is available to protect your abode for one full month for the small rate of $20.00, though why would anyone want to miss out on all of the fun!? To "Flock" someone in the Lyons area, or to purchase "anti-flocking" insurance, please contact Dorothy Barnes at (315) 946-6645.
