Fire-breathing dragon.

Fire Breathing Steel Dragon

The dragon is token-operated. You can buy the tokens for 1 dollar each at the liquor store across the street. Look for the coin box on the telephone pole next to the dragon.

The fee is reasonable, considering the ever-escalating cost of dragon's breath. March 2009: Photo added.

Dragon.

Fire Breathing Steel Dragon

This is a steel dragon approximately 30-35 foot tall and 30 foot long that breathes fire and has glowing eyes. My wife and I found him on a trip down US 40 late one night, and stopped in June of 2007 in the daylight. We were fortunate enough to have one of the builders show us how he breathed fire.
