There have been recent additions to the display, including a metal-sculpted hot air balloon in the shape of an elephant's head, with people holding its ropes down. Is the Metal Family going on an aerial adventure?

This started with the tractor. Then, the man was there. Then, he got a companion in a kind of Mrs. Claus outfit. Now, there are two children in University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University outfits, and a baby in her arms (The baby is thus far unaffiliated). This is a drive-by; there is not good place to stop nearby.
