This is Grand Rapids own "Nessie". You may remember when I showed her to you before here, when we had an Art Competition. At that time she was in the Grand River in the middle of the city. Now she has been moved to a pond on near our zoo. We drove by her today, and had to stop to get a picture of her in the snow.

I live on the outskirts of Grand Rapids Michigan where there is an international art competition happening. There are 1,262 artists from 15 countries competing in 159 areas throughout the city. A friend and I spent the day walking around and looking at many of them.
This one has received a lot of attention. We have our own Loch Ness Monster in our Grand River!

*we couldn't tell what it was made of, but it didn't look like wood when we were closer to it.
