Driving through Cookeville on the way back to Oklahoma, we ventured off the interstate and caught a glimpse of the pink elephant. My picture did not turn out too well as we were driving, but she looks to be in very good shape especially compared to some other elephants I have seen.

I work at the H2O Zone in Cookeville, Tennessee and we have a pink elephant here named Ellie. She has been here for 21 years. Last year she underwent a makeover: brighter shade of pink, blue polka dot bikini, and sunglasses.
