Sculpted doesn't seem to be right to me. They are all cast fiberglass and painted.

Cool. I haven’t been to Joliet in a while-not since my last IL jury duty.
Joliet is the home of Hoffee cases. They are on Frontage Road.
Maybe there is a connection.
We will have to take a ride and check them out.

Roseville did something similar in 2020, commissioned 20 artists to doll up 7-foot-tall rose sculptures, and then they loaded them on this truck and dropped them at locations around the city. There's one near me that I pass frequently, pretty cool. The blue one, second from the right, is now outside my credit union.  |

I think that’s a “thing.”
Some did cows. Arlington Heights used to do horses, because of the race track. Maybe now they’ll consider Bears.

So the Cargo Cult is branching out.

After Charles Schulz, who was born and raised in St. Paul, died in 2000, for the next six years a different Peanuts character was featured in artist renditions in both St. Paul and Mpls. There was a Charlie Brown version in the little park across the street from the Strib back when we were in our original building.

I didn't know Joliet was so cool. I'll have to check this out.] So…when you driving down with the spraypaint to apply the burst? |

Bristol has seen a lot of Gromits and Shaun the Sheeps. They've been auctioned and millions have been raised for the Children's hospital.

A favorite in Hoosier towns is a large squirrel dressed as a golfer.
Or, it should be, anyway.

In 2016 many Indiana towns, including mine, had
decorated full size buffalo statues to celebrate our "bisontennial." The bison is part of our state seal.
