- Ardmore, Oklahoma - Sinclair Dinosaurs
The Sinclair dinosaur has been removed from its area. I asked locals and they said that the dino had been removed for quite some time and that everyone in town was very sad to see it gone.
[Carissa Clayton, 02/19/2012]Sinclair Dinosaurs:- Hours:
- 2012: Reported gone for some time.
- Status:
- Gone
Came upon Sinclair Dinos in Ada, Pauls Valley, and Ardmore, OK. He's a little guy, maybe 5-ft. to the top of his head. The former owner of the Ardmore Sinclair station (recently deceased) did a lot of sewing and she made several costumes for her Dino. The current station owners have all the costumes and change them with the seasons and holidays.
