An 11-foot-tall scrap metal elephant made of an oil fuel tank, hubcaps, a basketball backboard, several chrome bumpers, door knobs, and tail pipes -- all formed into a crazy-looking elephant. Created by Kasey Wells, a scrap metal artist who lives in Lexington. He used the elephant in a failed attempt to win the Presidency of the United States.
[Doug Dirr, 06/11/2021]Kasey didn't receive many votes, but he did have more campaign slogans than any other candidate, including "Abolish the Pharma Liability Shield" and "Clean Up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch."
