A great example of a Paul-Bunyan-style "Muffler Man", which is further explained on the Roadside America website. It should be known that the "Wabeno Log Rollers" are the name of the local elementary school's sports team. Apparently, Larry has his own Twitter account, although I don't see how he can hit the keys properly with those giant fingers.
2013 UPDATE: Tragedy has struck! Larry has been felled by a tree in an unfortunate accident. His body is broken, but repairs have been promised by the local dignitaries, giving us the hope that Larry will one day return to his spot in front of the museum.
2013 UPDATE Part 2: Larry has been fully repaired and shall be visible to the public again on Memorial Day Weekend! Hats off to Ron Piontek of Piontek Auto Body for restoring Larry to his full glory. |
