Crazy little sculpture garden on the side of the road. There are several statues: a bulls eye with an arrow, a UFO, some ladder art. While we were there the artist showed up, who happens to live across the street from the garden. In September there is an art festival in the area and he has smoke machines hooked up to the UFO and he runs them along with "War of the Worlds" during the festival.
