Springfield, Illinois -
Pink Elephant

Pink elephant previously at liquor store on Wabash was seen at Bunn Golf Course on 11th street in Springfield with a banner for the "Relay for Life" fund raising walk. Couldn't tell if he was still holding the martini glass in his trunk as a "box" had been placed around the trunk and displayed several advertisements. [Jason, 07/05/2005]

The Pink Elephant, owned by the Kent family, hangs out in the Goodwill parking lot near his pal, the Lauterbach Muffler Man. The Pink Elephant is really a part of Springfield, as he has been appearing in front yards, in front of businesses etc for years to help Springfieldians celebrate birthdays, grand openings, and assorted events.

[RA: We've witnessed other bespectacled pink elephants hoisting martini glasses. It's a classic happy intoxication icon.]
