The artist has added some creatures to his collection!

The yard art Sea Monster remains, while others have changed. The artist has added several sculptures, including some across the street. If you go on a weekend there is parking at the end of the block in the probation office parking lot. You can also see one of the sculptures near the town sign, just a few blocks away near the highway on and off ramps.

The yard currently has a Mothman, T.rex and a Venus fly trap. Amazing!
[Renanda Pennington, 01/14/2022]
The residential yard is full of metal art. There is a full-body Loch Ness monster, plus buffalo and Minions. Really beautifully done.
[The Dunlaps, 03/17/2018]The sculptures seem to change frequently, perhaps as the artist-owner sells them. The big Nessy is probably permanent.
