Rooster

Work Title:

    Comments:
  • Large rooster sculpture outside of Weldon's Gifts along Highway 61 in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Weldon Johnson purchased the rooster in the 1960s from a man who had several large fiberglass sculptures. He picked the rooster because he thought it would bring attention to his store. Higway 61 is a popular tourist route along the North Shore of Minnesota. The rooster was stolen in 2003 but was repaired and returned to its original location outside Weldon's Gifts.
