Polk County DU'er Please claim Festivus Display

Fom the Yahoo article:
"The Polk County Commission voted 4-1 Wednesday to permit the nativity scene to remain across the street from the courthouse, as well as to make that area a "public forum" open to any type of display."


But the commission insisted that unless someone claims a particular display and submits a written request asking it remain, it would be removed. By Wednesday evening, no one had claimed the Festivus display, and the commission said it would come down; a woman claimed the Zoroastrianism display, which was to stay"






There's a Festivus display at the Polk County, Fla., site where the Nativity scene was erected without permission. The county has allowed non-traditional displays by anyone who will erect it and maintain it without too much hassle. There is a Festivus display there that sounds like it could use some help and needs someone to claim it or it will be removed.

I'm quite sure a Polk County DU'er with a sense of humour could find an aluminum pole and air some grievances...maybe even some feats of strength?

check it out.

thanks

3. And please put up a lovely pentagram while you're at it.
That should get the fundies all riled up.
