Trolls, Foxes, turtles, dragons, benches, unit blocks, & pedal cars

In Tulsa, we have about 60 painted penguins around town. They were a fund raiser for the Tulsa zoo.

As your list shows
Seattle, Washington, "Pigs on Parade" (2001, 2007) [45]; Ponies on Parade (2005); "Nutcracker Parade" (2006)
I don't remember the Ponies but I do remember the Nutcrackers and the Pigs.
