A mix-up in paint colors turns into a great promotional opportunity for a park and zoo. SEK Delta Waterfowl volunteered to paint the lion statues at Riverside Park and Ralph Mitchell Zoo as a part of Love Independence Day. Park Manager Scott Patton says a slight mix-up happened when they went to pick up the paint.

The posts of the newly painted statues have gone somewhat viral on Facebook with people both liking and disliking the brighter color. Patton says even former Commander of the International Space Station Leroy Chiao gave his opinion.

Patton says this simple mistake has given them some good attention and helped promote the park and zoo. There is currently a poll up to decide if they are going to stick with the brighter color. The poll can be found here.
