A flock of pink flamingos isn't a normal sight around Hagerstown, but a youth group from a local church has been placing plastic flocks of the birds on lawns as a fundraiser for a mission trip to New Orleans this summer. For a donation of $20, people can request to have their lawn “flocked” and a second donation is needed to have them removed, kept for a significant amount of time or moved to another location. A donation also can protect someone's lawn from the placement.

They were formed with the most rudimentary construction, but the cars, boats, rockets and even the toaster sure could move fast Sunday.

Sixty sleds made from tape, cardboard and paint vied for top honors in several categories. Sarah Monroe, Chrissy Ringel and Lexi Caple learned some design tricks from a previous year's entry.

Alexander Kimble said he doesn't like being alone on weekends, so on Sunday night, he decided to take the Bridge of Life church up on its offer of a free Super Bowl party. Anyone could stop by the church Sunday at 14 S. Potomac St. and hang out in the hip surroundings of the church's youth room to watch the game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. The room had a decidedly youthful feel to it with its mishmash of furniture, dim lighting and posters dotting the walls.
