Where in Tacoma is Leroy, The Plush Pup?
     

Leroy, The Plush Pup is on an adventure around Tacoma as we find some of the best places in the area in preparation of our Best of the Northwest Free Community Festival to be held July 31 at Tacoma Art Museum.

Every day we will post a picture on Facebook of Leroy enjoying one of his favorite spots in Tacoma. We challenge you to guess where he is. Be the first to post the correct answer on our Facebook page and win a prize from Tacoma Art Museum.

Leroy, the Plush Pup is a smaller, softer version of the museum's famed Leroy, The Big Pup. Drop in the museum store and pick up your own plush pup!

About Leroy, The Big Pup
A favorite member of Tacoma Art Museum since 2005, Leroy, The Big Pup was created by Seattle artist Scott Fife. The ten-foot tall cardboard sculpture won the hearts of our community and now greets visitors in the museum’s lobby. To celebrate Leroy, The Big Pup, Tacoma Art Museum and Scott Fife designed Leroy, The Plush Pup, a much smaller and softer version that the community can really embrace and even take home with them.
