The Boy With the Boot has adorned the north entry to Wellsville City (now a village) since I was a child. It had been vandalized or flood damaged and in storage for a number of years, and has recently been restored by the Peter Amato Trust and dedicated as a memorial to Mr. Amato. It is cast metal and streams water just as depicted in the web site.

[Connie Carmichael, 09/13/2007]Here's another town with a boy and a leaking boot. He has been a presence at the center of town for decades. I think he has been renovated/replaced a couple of times.
