Schtroumpf

The Schtroumpf will celebrate it’s 50th birthday/anniversary this year. You ask what is exactly is a Schtoumpf …It is a SMURF! You know the cute blue guys and one girl that lived under mushrooms. I'm collecting sticker that our grocery store is giving away in celebration.

They were created in Belgium in 1958 and were introduced to the US 1981.

From January to October 2008 smurfs will be smurfing countless European cities, wishing themselves a ‘Happy Smurfday!’ While everyone’s asleep, they will hide thousands of little white Smurfs around the city. Here is a link to the web site showing one of the cities they went to in Belgium…I wish I would have known about this sooner it looks and sounded like a lot of fun!!

This photo is from Ghent, Belgium when the smurfs appeared there over night.

Happy Birthday Smurfs!!!
