In the grand tradition of the Philly Wapuu, we\u2019re proud to introduce three new Wapuus. Our theme this year is Philly firsts. We choose just a few that were a surprise to us, but with a city whose history is as rich as Philadelphia’s, it was hard to choose!<\/p>\n

Never heard of a Wapuu?… you can read all about how Wapuu came about here<\/a>\u00a0and then promptly fall in love like the rest of us. Read on to see our 2018 creations!<\/p>\n

\"Patriot-puu,Patriot-puu<\/h2>\n

Coming in with bang, our Patriot-puu is holding the original flag by Philly’s own Betsy Ross<\/a>!<\/p>\n

George\u00a0Washington apparently asked if Betsy could make a flag and Betsy responded: “I do not know, but I will try.” In the background, firework ignite since Philly, of course, was where Independence was first declared and the reason for every 4th of July celebration!<\/p>\n

\"Girlscout-puu,Girlscout-puu<\/h2>\n

Nibbling politely on a thin mint cookie, our Girlscout-puu is proud to wear the badges for WP.<\/p>\n

Way back\u00a0in 1934, the Philadelphia Council of the Girl Scouts<\/a> launched the first commercially-produced Girl Scout Cookie sale. Originally conceived as a local fundraiser, the annual Girl Scout Cookie sale quickly became a bright spot in the Great Depression and an American cultural tradition.<\/p>\n

\"Zoo-puu,Zoo-puu<\/h2>\n

Our very brave Zoo-puu is flying high and proud in the Zooballoon<\/a> overlooking giraffes, zebras and more of the Zoo\u2019s majestic wildlife at the\u00a0Philadelphia Zoo, <\/a>which\u00a0was the first true<\/em> zoo in the United States.<\/p>\n

It opened in 1874\u00a0with varied exhibits containing 200 mammals including buffalo, deer, wolves, foxes, bears, and monkeys, as well as 67 bird species, and 15 reptiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
