Swansation

By Martha Hollis and Anthony Scaggs

What's the flap about those five feet tall fiberglass swans around the lake and public areas of Lakeland, FL? Birdwatchers can see them only until April when they will be auctioned in a benefit for the Explorations V Children’s Museum and other charities.

Swansation, modeled after much talked about Cows on Parade in Chicago, has enriched Lakeland with a visual cultural activity. Sixty-two individuals, businesses, and organizations have "Swansored" the swans.

The Swan Song Dinner Auction will take place April 25, 2003. It is anticipated that many of the swans will then make permanent nests in the area.
