Mary and John Hazelwood are part of Little Flower Parish’s flamingo fundraiser, in which someone can pay $20 to “flock” someone else, with 20 pink plastic flamingoes placed in that person’s yard. Mary Hazelwood said she enjoys planting flamingos because of “how happy it makes people feel… It can make someone’s day, that’s the fun of it.”
