World's Largest Souvenir Plate

The plate sustained some storm damage, but was repaired and repainted in the Summer of 2018.

[Carla Prael, 09/08/2018]

A hailstorm damaged the plate in April 2015; it looked pretty ragged when we saw it a year later. Artist Erika Nelson, who created the plate, began restoring and repainting it in 2017. She finished a year later. Now it looks great again!

The old satellite dish, which is slowly surrendering to the elements, was made to resemble a souvenir plate for the folk art-crazy town of Lucas.
