Flamingos migrate to Iraq

On February 24, Chris from Chris in Iraq posted about Kix & Dunn as well as a lawn update. At the end of his lawn update he mentioned that he was looking for a pink flamingo lawn ornament. Michelle Reed, President of the Lawn Greeting Association read this post and e-mailed Chris. After talking with Chris via e-mail and over the phone she mentioned it on the Lawn Greetings Business Owners Forum. Michelle asked the members of the forum to donate a Flamingo to send to Chris for the lawn.

Eleven different lawn greetings companies responded to Michelle's plea and sent her at least one flamingo lawn ornament. The Leominster Flamingo Company (the makers of the pink flamingos) donated 2 flamingos signed by creator Don Featherstone. The Lawn Greetings Association also donated some items as well. Here is a picture of the items before they started their migration to Iraq.
