Recently visited and the famous fiddler had fallen and couldn't get back up. It's a pretty sad sight. However, there were several other carved friends in the store's yard, like "The Wild Woodsman."

Trees carved and set up in interesting ways in the small community of Blanca, located east of Alamosa, Colorado. I did not see the inside of the shop, just stopped to take photos.

The Fiddler was a champ. Don't know if we'd swerve to see the "Wild Woodsman," a man-sized tree stump with a crudely carved Robin Hood head nailed on top.
