Nancy and Danny Johnson wanted a large attraction for their store in the late 1970s so they bought a rhinoceros statue. A year later a car wreck wiped it out, so they got Mark Cline to build them another one -- and when Mark returned it, it came with a baby!

Rhinoceros mother and baby. Cement statues. Photo opportunity!
[Sherry W., 07/04/2015]We would guess that these life-size statues predate the church that currently occupies the same lot. They were built by Foamhenge creator Mark Cline.
