Gotha, Florida - Statue Parade
Visited on 7/7/20. The statues go further into the lady's yard and behind her home. She was out by the road and graciously gave us a tour to see the ones on her property. Be aware, however, that she has "No Trespassing" signs in front of her property, so please be respectful. A very cool experience!
