DESCRIPTION:
Pink Flamingo Day honors the 1957 pink flamingo lawn décor creator Don Featherstone. It occurs on the day after his death in 2015. This event was declared a holiday by the former mayor of Leominster, Massachusetts, Dean Mazzaralla. Its champion is the Lawn Greeting Association.
Lawn greetings, also known as a ‘yard card,’ are a prank played on loved ones and friends. A popular version of a yard card is installing a flock of plastic pink flamingos overnight. The prankster hires a company that arrives after dark and fills the recipient’s lawn with various critters, including flamingos, dinosaurs, cows, and more. The pranked wakes up in the morning to a laugh. People do this instead of sending flowers or cards for special events.
History of the Plastic Pink Flamingo:
Don Featherstone hails from a small town in Massachusetts called Leominster.
Hired by a plastic molding company called Union Products, Don created clay molds of animals for plastic lawn ornaments. These critters included cows, roosters, pigs, and more. After studying a National Geographic magazine, Featherstone created what would become an American icon: the plastic pink flamingo.
For almost 50 years, Union Products manufactured these pink birds. Several other companies tried to reproduce their versions of pink flamingos in different shapes and shades of pink. Sadly, due to increasing production costs, Union Products ceased all production and closed its doors for good. Many flamingo fans feared the pink flamingo lawn ornament would become extinct. Today, most are manufactured in China.
