Anybody in Louisville KY?

A bit of topic, but one never knows! There is a place North of Louisville that sell life sized statues, including a life size replica of a hippopotamus with it's mouth open. I would LOVE to have one and put it in my lake, but every time I go past there I am in a big hurry. If one of the members just happen to know about the place, and stop by one of these days, I would like to know the name of the place and/or how much they cost.

Thank you for you really insightful post.

You're welcome - perhaps if you could narrow it down to less than 36,000 square miles, someone could help you out?

No, it is not that, looks like a real hippo with gaping mouth. Place is just across the river in Louisville on I65 North on the West side of the road.

They apparently have others, so maybe you should e-mail for samples?
