“Behold: Welcome to PeePville
By Sam and Shelley

We’re not gonna lie, we are shamelessly pandering to people like us — those who read PoPville obsessively on a daily basis.

We worked on this a couple nights a week for the last few weeks, channeling both our fearless Editor’s voice and the frequently peep-ular articles featured on the blog. It was a ton of fun.

If you pay special attention, you’ll see that some of Peepville’s regulars have aired their opinions here too.”

Please include a brief description about your entry and please include 2 photos, one closeup and one capturing the whole scene. Entries should be based on local topics of interest if possible and sent by Friday, April 28th. Depending on how many I receive, I’ll try to post all as I get them. I will then pick 5-10 finalists that you guys will vote on. I will take the winners out to dinner (courtesy Carmine’s Family Style Italian Restaurant) and drinks (unless the high school kids win, then just dinner.) I will also bury the winners (and 2nd and 3rd place) in PoPville t-shirts. Good luck!!

“This is my DC-Metro themed Peep’s diorama entitled “Peeps on the Platform.” Startled peeps are standing on the platform at the L’Peep Plaza metro stop, which is single-tracking and experiencing delays as smoke creeps into the tunnel. Above ground, Police Peeps have blocked off the station with caution tape as a small group of Protesting Peeple have begun to gather.”

“Bunnies’ March on Washington
By Tobey Busch and Marcy Busch

Inspired by the Women’s March on Washington, we recreated the scene with strong and resisting bunny peeps. We adapted the signs (“Hands off My Eggs,” “This Bunny Bites Back,” etc.), the iconic Women’s March logo, and the marchers’ outfits (see Rosie the Riveter, the Statue of Liberty, white pants suits, pink “hats,” etc.). We tried to capture the volume, creativity, and enthusiasm of the marchers, as well as the unifying and positive atmosphere of the march.”

From Megan Griffiths-Ward:

“I’ve called it “The Peeple’s Uprising.” All hats hand knitted, background painted, etc. All my own original work. Sign ideas borrowed from the women’s march, the upcoming science march, the necessary Peep puns, etc. You have to look closely because there is a lot there.”

“Diorama by Melissa Werner
Hats Knitted by Lila Guterman, Jennifer McClory, Rebecca McCoyer, Kelsey Boler Norton, and Melissa Werner

This recreation of the 2017 Women’d March combines two of my current favorite pastimes–arts and crafts and anti-Trump activism. I made a bunch of pink “pussyhats” for the real march, and had a lot of fun making miniature versions and engaging other like-minded knitters to contribute. The banner is a recreation of a much larger one that my twin boys and a bunch of their friends from school carried.”
