Being new to this area, my kids and I have heard about Emily and they loved seeing her in the water. But we don’t know anything about her - her history - who made her - is the artist local? Who puts her in the water every year? Where does she hibernate during the winter months? My kids would love to know how she was made as they are taking art lessons and have wondered how Emily was made…. Perhaps you could do a story on Emily.
-by the way, great advertising for this site on that minivan driving around town!
Kristin, we do have a story on Emily:
