I've been a deliquent poster, but look what I stumbled upon!

So I'm not very good at this blog stuff - I haven't posted in forever, but hey, I've been busy. I wanted to share pictures of a neat project that they did in Monroe, Wisconsin. Monroe is a Wisconsin Main Street Community and I thought that this was a really neat idea. Monroe is also where Swiss Colony is located (yum!) Wouldn't this be a neat thing to do? It was a really nice retail promotion - participants had a passport that they could take to various businesses to collect a stamp. Stamped passports were turned in for prizes.


All of the animals are carved out of wood - they called this promotion the JUNGLE on the Square.

Facades from downtown Monroe - every building looks great!

I loved this one - popping out of a flower bed - and loved that it said BITE ME - one of my favorite expressions!

Penguins!

Great flower pots and love the sign!

Octopus - this one was my favorite!
