Marianne, How cute! When we lived in Kansas there was a mostly Swedish town. I can't remember the name but my parents had friends who were from there. I expect it is not as Swedish as it use to be. The area we live in was settled by Germans and the street names still survive; I have met a few descendants but it has become diversified.

That is a very festive looking animal they have out front, Marianne. Thanks for the picture-I have never seen anything like it. Reminds me of a pinata.

Hi Marchel: Thanks for checking in. This little town in NE holds a history for my husband's family. We found some great info about them at this Heritage Center. Yes, his family was from Sweden.
Hey Debi: No, it's in Oakland, Nebraska. We took this photo when we were there. We thought the red horse was unusual.
Hi Sharon: Yeah, it's as colorful as a pinata, but it was made of wood. We thought that it was so unusual that it deserved a quick photo.

Yes but they have horse statues all over the place, all different colors and substances.

How cute! Looks like a little Christmas tree ornament! Or should I say a HUGE Christmas tree ornament? =o) Its so much fun to see the cultural heritage of small towns being celebrated, though I also enjoy the "melting pot" experience of big cities, (minus the traffic, etc).

Hi Debra: I've only been to Saratoga Springs once...and I never noticed the statues. Next time, I'll take a closer looks.
Hi Cheryl: And this is one of the great small midwestern towns. I think they have one stop light. LOL
I know Karen, and don't you just hate it when you've brought the camera in to down load photos and forget to put the camera back into the car???
