Welcome to the Leominster Flamingo Company! First off, I want to say a big THANK YOU to all of those that came out to the Summer Stroll for the unveiling yesterday. I understand that some may have left feeling a little disappointed or even confused in regards to the "unveiling", but as stated before, that was not our intention.
We thought we were ready when the story leaked to the local paper back on the 25th of May, and had every intention of showing you at the very least, an engineered drawing of the new design.
However, things changed. Local and national support started flooding us with suggestions, ideas...you name it. The "leaked" story, which at first seemed like an bad omen, turned into a positive! We decided to try and incorporate all of these ideas into our design, and what happened was amazing! Our design began to take on a whole new dimension.
Since the whole thought behind this was to give the people a new flamingo, we thought we had an obligation to listen to the people and give them what they want. We found ourselves re-designing and modifying our design on a daily basis, which put us in an awkward position at the Summer Stroll.
Because we only wanted to "unveil" the finished design, we decided to wait until it was ABSOLUTELY perfect. We are very close, but due to both business and legal reasons, we couldn't risk showing an incomplete design.
You support has been amazing, and your patience is appreciated. Trust me, when you feast your eyes on what we have in store for you, you will not be disappointed! Also, when we do the final design and prototype unveiling...You will understand why we couldn't say more than we have.
