closeThe City of Raleigh has invented Rainy, a raindrop in yellow galoshes, to be its mascot in the fight for water conservation. But the drought isn't the Triangle's only problem that could use a cartoon cheerleader. That's where you come in.
Invent a mascot for a civic issue in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill or elsewhere and send it to us. Here are a few examples to get you going:
* Terry the Central Raleigh Teardown
More B City & State
* Gus the Wake Reassignment Bus
* Norv the Blueprint, emblem of the Carolina North planning process.
* Crumbles, the DOT Rubble
We'll take your best submissions and have our team of crack illustrators make them real. Post them at the share .triangle.com Web site or e-mail them to merelman@newsobserver.com.
Look for winners soon in The N&O.

Since The News & Observer does not control user submitted statements, we cannot promise that readers will not occasionally find offensive or inaccurate comments posted on our website. In addition, we remind anyone interested in making an online comment that responsibility for statements posted lies with the person submitting the comment, not The News and Observer.
