Nyberg Sculpture Park
Had to trudge through about three feet of snow to see everything, but it was worth it. The gas station next door has some cool handmade ceramics to check out!

There's a huge clothespin at the Vining Sculpture Park.

This is a great little park with quite an eclectic collection of sculptures and made a nice subject for an HDR photo. The park sits off to one side of a gas station, and the coffee cup sculpture is by itself on the other side. Maybe a location for future additions?
[Patrick Volkerding, 07/20/2011]The coffee cup has been there for over a decade, but expect additions -- Vining seems to like whatever Ken Nyberg sculpts.
Just down the road about a mile are more sculptures in Mr. Nyberg's yard: Sculptures of a blue heron, hummingbird, dog, beaver, rhino.
