Heading out of Vinita, Oklahoma eastbound on US 60, there is (2023) a
pink flamingo out in front of a business. The flamingo has a saddle on it. ;)
Definitely sounds like a memorable place!
thing (like pigs in northern Kentucky or horses in Louisville or Lexington), a Vinita thing, or what it signifies. ;)
Yeah, that's a good question.
For me, I know the University of Wisconsin-Madison has a fundraiser that puts plastic pink flamingos on a certain place in campus, and I think that grew out of a prank that people did at some point.
Because it is a silly-looking bird. That, obviously, has no other connection to Wisconsin, outside of zoos.
