Wonder Where It Is Now?

Dave Brown directed my attention to a June, 1969, edition of the Glenville Democrat. The titile of a photo was "Will Be Unique Entry In Festival Parade." If anyone knows if this critter is still in existence, we would appreciate a call. Here is the text that was placed under the photos.

Forest Turner of 419 Charles Street, Glenville, should merit a big round of applause when his entry into the WV State Folk Festival parade moves down Main Street.

The unique entry was made by Mr. Turner, who has given attention to every detail, large, and small. The unit consists of an 8-foot long wagon, on which are mounted a small merry-go-round, replete with tent top and miniature ponies and riders, two miniature figures sawing a large log, and a women churning the old fashioned way. And all the figures move,as does the merry-go-round. Small motors provide the power.
