March
of The
Nutcrackers

Large and in charge: The Big Kahuna!
| To celebrate the holiday season and
raise money for The Northwest Center, an organization to
help developmentally disabled people, the invasion of the
nutcrackers has arrived in Seattle. Sprinkled throughout
downtown, Belltown, Seattle Center, and Pioneer Square are
a plethora of fabulously colored nutcracker statues dazzling
the eyes like a candy cane colored wonderland. Similar to
the Pigs On Parade of 2001 and 2007, this parade of individually
designed works is fun, festive, and for sale! Sixty statues
in all cover the gamut from American Gothic to Holly Go-Lightly,
The Big Kahuna to a Mardi Gras masterpiece, and on and on.
