Albino deer, town mascot, put on posthumous display

The simply named "White Deer," a 2-year old albino deer adopted by the town of Garner as a mascot, was killed when struck by an automobile in late 2001. In November 2002, she reappeared in town -- stuffed and on exhibit at Old Garner High School. She's since moved on to a temporary stint at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh, NC.

A 96-acre park in Garner named "White Deer Park" may become permanent home of the stuffed albino in a plexiglass display -- if locals can raise the money and figure out how to prevent bucks from charging it during mating season. [11/30/2002]
