Stork Express is a new business offering lawn announcement rentals. Owner Sarah Nietfield says for example, clients can rent a stork to announce the birth of a new baby. It will be displayed prominently in the renter’s lawn for 5 days, complete with blue or pink balloons and bundle. Storks are also available for a one-day rental for baby showers.

Rentals are available in Port Orchard, Bremerton, and Gig Harbor. Other areas may be added later. 24 hour notice is required. Reach the firm at (360) 769-9253.
