Muffler Man - 1964-65 New York World's Fair
New York World's Fair enthusiast Bill Cotter -- who shot thousands of slides as a kid in 1964-65 -- sent us this photo of a Paul Bunyan-style Muffler Man at the entrance to the Oregon Pavilion. There has been speculation that this character is the one that ended up in Ortley Beach, NJ -- but other Bunyans in the metropolitan region are also possibilities.
[Roadsideamerica.com Team, 12/06/2004]In the seaside resort town of Ortley Beach, there is a miniature golf course that has a statue of Paul Bunyan on the links, the same one featured in your books and web site. The statue is taken down for the winter, but is put back up every spring for the summer tourist season. The golf course is on Rt. 35 north in that town. Check it out this summer!
