There is so much more than just a knife! What a fantastic find. There's a space capsule, airplane, needle in a haystack, and monster truck on hay bales. Nice pull off so you can get out for pics.

Soaring Over Blackjack.

Soaring Over Blackjack (and the Butter Knife)

The newest addition to "The Sculpture Park at Blackjack" is Kentucky's largest weathervane, titled "Soaring over Blackjack." It was built by students enrolled in Franklin-Simpson High School welding classes in the Spring of 2020. The sculpture is 25 feet high and is made from a 1960s Schreder Airmate HP-9 glider. The pole once held the lights at James Mathews stadium, and is anchored in 12,000 pounds of concrete that extends 10 feet below the ground. It's functional and moves to face the wind with the slightest breeze.
