"Flocked"
From last year. Haven't seen any yet this year.
WELLS, Maine -- Flocks of pink flamingos are increasingly being seen around Wells and Ogunquit these days. Not the real birds, but the lawn decoration variety that some people love and others find tacky. It's all part of a fundraising drive by the Wells High School Project Graduation committee. They're encouraging that more and more people get "flocked."
"People can order a flock for someone else's yard," said committee member Dawn Valente. "They get 20 birds for three days, unless the person wants to pay money to get them removed earlier. You can buy insurance so you can't get flocked. If you do and someone tries to flock you, they get flocked instead."
The whole idea is to raise money for the 2009 Project Graduation activity. Each year, the committee develops an alcohol- and drug-free excursion on the night of the graduation ceremony for interested graduates. The money raised helps to defray costs that otherwise would be borne by the graduates and their families.
