Tiger ‘yard art,’ fund raiser continues here

The “Tiger Yard Art” you’re seeing around town is a fund raiser for Alpha Tau Delta service sorority.

“For $20 you can pick where the Tiger is caged and ensure you don’t receive it back,” Brooksy Fisher, sorority spokesperson, said.

She said for $15 a participant can select where the Tiger is caged next, but you may get it back, she said.

“For $10 we will remove the Tiger from your yard,” Fisher said.

Money raised will go toward the organization’s annual scholarships.
