🦩 Have you seen the flamingos hanging around town? 🦩

They’re not lost—they’re part of the Flamingo Fandingo Fundraiser!

Anyone can pay a fee to "flock" a house or business within Grafton with a flock of bright pink and blue flamingos. It's a fun way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, special occasion, or simply surprise a friend or neighbor.

Want to send a flock their way? The flamingos will make a temporary stop at their location before moving on to their next destination around town.

Ready to flock someone? Contact the Grafton Area Chamber of Commerce/DMV to schedule your flamingo delivery! Hurry before the birds migrate for the season. 🔆
