GoFish! was a fundraiser in Erie, PA, in 2001. I can’t find a match for this one in the “offishial” GoFish! book and the plaque underneath is too faded to read after 22 years in the sun and rain. Amy H.’s FourSquare map identified this one as “Goldfish.” Unfortunately, since FourSquare folded, I can no longer access her map. However, I have created my own which you can view on my new Public Art Maps page.

GoFish! was a fundraiser in Erie, PA, in 2001. “Lilly the Lip” by Rick & Susan James was the first of the fish and frogs that Shelly and I took photos of on our trip in 2023 armed with Amy H.’s maps. As it was after sunset, we were carded to enter the bar even though we only wanted a picture of a fish.

LeapFrog! was a fundraiser in Erie, PA, in 2004. For our final stop in our July 2023 search for frogs, we paused to reflect with “Leap into your Reflection” by Chary L. Robbins.

LeapFrog! was a fundraiser in Erie, PA, in 2004. In 2023, “‘Frog-on’-Liberty” by Meridian Creative Group Art Department was no longer on Liberty and was no longer green as shown in the official LeapFrog! book and earlier photos on Amy H.’s map.

LeapFrog! was a fundraiser in Erie, PA, in 2004. The “Prints of Hopper-Tunity” was crowned in 2005, so it may not have been part of the original fundraiser. We stumbled upon the “Prints” while looking for another frog Amy H.’s map said was in the vicinity, but that one we didn’t find. The “Prints” did not change into a “Prince” when Shelly kissed him.

LeapFrog! was a fundraiser in Erie, PA, in 2004. There is so much to see on “We are the Future…Let us LEAP” by Erie School District High School Art Students and Teachers. In 2023, we found this frog in front of the Erie Public School building thanks to Amy H.’s map of Erie’s frogs.

LeapFrog! was a fundraiser in Erie, PA, in 2004. “Infinity Frogs” by Tom Tucker was beyond our walkshed when Shelly and I were searching for frogs in 2023, but with Amy H.’s map of Erie’s frogs we were able to drive directly there.
