 Thus was born the phrase “I mowed Peggy Rae's Lawn,” which indicated that people were sucked in when Peggy Rae looked at them and said, with a big smile on her face, “You know, I think you would be good at…” 

In 2012, at Chicon 7, she was honored as the Fan Guest of Honor.Her display in the Exhibits area consisted of a patch of astroturf surrounded by picket fences and park benches.Sitting in the middle of the patch was a small toy lawnmower, to give everyone at the con the chance to mow Peggy Rae’s lawn.
