Pierz’s Beloved Roxie The Snake: A Rock Painting Community Icon
ROXIE IS BACK!
Remember Roxie The Snake? Roxie is back! Roxie got lots of attention last year, as a snake built out of rocks next to Sue's Drive-in in Pierz.
This year, they are welcoming everyone to paint a rock and add to it once again, but they've gone a step further.
GRAB A ROCK & PAINT IT!
They have a bucket of unpainted rocks next to Roxie, so you can grab a rock, take it home, paint it; and the next time you come back, you can add a rock to Roxie's body!
If you are wondering exactly where Roxie is located, Alyssa posted on Facebook, "A sign will be up once I make a new one, to make her easier to spot; but she is right on Main Street on the north end of Sue's."
What a fun family activity. You can see the post of Roxie below.

INSPIRATION FOR CENTRAL MINNESOTA
I'm also hoping that Roxie inspires others across central Minnesota to do the same thing! It's a great way to visit area parks and a fun activity to complete with your kids at home.
As a matter of fact, why not create your own Rock snake around your home? You can put a rock snake around your flower beds, along your sidewalk, or maybe even along your driveway.
FAIRY GARDEN IDEAS
I have some fairy gardens set up outside my house, and my mom was NOT a fan of snakes. So I would like to do something similar, but what other kind of creature can I make that will honor my Mom without freaking out her spirit? Maybe she's okay with snakes now; I doubt she has to worry about anything on the other side; but still; do you have any ideas for me? I already paint rocks so maybe I can make some pretty swirly designs. You can see my rocks below.
