CHS Swim and Dive team flocks to fundraising event

By Ashleigh Heaton
Entertainment Editor

I drove up to my house last night to see that my front lawn had been inhabited by a hoard of pink, plastic flamingos. Unless my parents decided to decorate using some weird retro-theme, something was definitely up.

Turns out, my family is now a part of the CHS Swim and Dive team‘s third annual “Flamingo Flocking FUNdraiser”. In order to have the flock removed from our yard, we are asked to donate money to the team. We can also pay extra money to send the flock to someone else’s house and/or find out who sent the flock to us.

Of course, all of this could have been adverted if we had only paid the $20 flocking insurance, which would have granted us immunity to the whole frenzy. But, alas, we did not, so for now we’re just stuck with these blasted — but, nevertheless, hilarious — birds.

The fundraiser began on Nov. 5 and will run until Nov. 15 and all donations benefit the CHS Swim and Dive Team. So if you find a group of unexpected plastic friends outside your door…well, you’ll just have to Annie-up to see if it was me.
