I was talking about the name the Singapore Garden Festival (SGF) mascots contest with a friend recently. It did not occur to me that out of the three mascots that were made their debut in the first SGF, the sunbird, has flown away to make way for the bee!
Below are the three posters that were used to publicise the first SGF…
The sunbird has decided to ‘quit’ this SGF… 
Here’s the poster showing the grasshopper. Apparently, during the first SGF, there were two life-size walking mascots that roam the exhibition hall. The grasshopper was one of them.
The other life-sized walking mascot was the ladybird. The ladybird stays on as one of the three SGF mascots this second SGF.
