Sumner, Missouri - Maxie the Canada Goose Festival Sumner has an annual Goose Festival every third weekend of October. It's really cool. I go to this every year. They have a gooseberry pie contest.
The goose is named Maxie (which is a female). She is made of fiberglass, and is not just a monument, but has rollers on the bottom, and the beak points the direction in which the wind is blowing. [Joyce, 06/22/2007]
Sumner, Missouri - Maxie the Goose In a park in the midst of a sad north-central Missouri town is a
gigantic Rodan-like goose, as if taking off in flight. It's Maxie the
Goose! Supposedly this area is the
(self-named) Wild Goose Capital of the World." The funny thing is, when I was
visiting, there were indeed hundreds of Canadian geese in V formations in the sky. [Pam Droog, 01/29/2002][RA: It's made of fiberglass.]
