Big Pink Elephant on Suburban Lawn

The elephant moves around town. It's not in Rochester anymore. This one you'll just have to happen across if you are in town. Usually appears in the summer.

One of the pink elephants with martini and glasses, parked in a yard on Rochester Rd. It's on a trailer so it may be moved around. It definitely doesn't fit with the houses in the neighborhood.
