Lurk no more - Here is today's trivia question:

Where is the original pink lawn flamingo made?

Leominster, Massachusetts (Union Products - they hired Don Featherstone who designed the 3-D version around 1957)!!!! Hmmmm.....and, living in the South as I do, I thought they would have originated "down heaya"!! LOL

Kitty

Yep ... in the middle of the week, I'm usually not here from 7:00am - 10:00pm ... but the reason I knew about the Necco company is because my grandfather ALWAYS without fail had Necco wafers in his shirt pockets when we were kids. Sooooo it's kind of a "childhood" memory. Plus having lived in NE 49 years (really all my life) before moving south helps.

Yep, you've got that one right Kitty. Now, according to the rules of this contest - I'm not supposed to accept edited posts/answers. However, I see that the edits do have a time & date on them, so I'll let this post count <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey, sorry I ended up posting this later than I had planned - It's still today right? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I ended up taking my step-daughter to the emergency room. She kicked a rock (on purpose) and needed 4 stitches on the middle toe of her right foot. And how many times have I told her NOT to kick rocks, huh? Oh well...

Here's today's trivia question:

Which New England town is known as 'Space Town'?

Durham, New Hampshire??

Kitty

Mmmmmm - nope. Right state, though. Keep guessing, this is a toughie. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Derry is also known as the birthplace of Alan Shepard, the first U.S. astronaut in space whose famous voyage gave Derry the nickname "Space Town". Robert Frost also lived here as a young adult.

I got one <G>
