Olean Squirrels

Recently on our vacation, we spent a night in the town of Olean, NY.  Here we discovered Olean's "Woodland in the City"  project which features 4' high decorated squirrels around the town. Olean developed this project in 2007 as a means to raise money for a children's museum. 

We have seen the painted cows in Houston and the decorated donkeys and elephants in Washington, DC, but these were by far the most whimsical animals we have seen. 

Enjoy!
