Not personally, but a friend of mine is taking one around Santa Claus, IN, because it was sent to the town's visitor center, where Carol works. A little girl from Minnesota mailed it there and asked them to take him on a tour. I've been giving her ideas, because I've taken my penguin on a tour of the town as part of his adventures. (I still refuse to grow up.)
TPBM has never been afraid of the dark, even as a child.
