Apple Boy

Apple Boy is the mascot of the Old Apple Barn in High Rolls New Mexico. He is being sculpted by the owner, Bill Niffenegger. He is 12 feet tall and will wave to guests at the Old Apple Barn. Old Apple Barn is a vintage emporium and bistro that harkens back to the days of the classic roadside attractions.

Web visitors can watch the sculpting progress of Apple Boy at the Old Apple Barn Facebook page. He will be unveiled Memorial Day Weekend 2010.
