July 24, 2010: Meerstraw... er, Strawkat... um

Well it's supposed to look like a Meerkat, but it's made of straw and steel.

Quote:
Each year, staff at Snugburys Ice Cream Farm, Hurleston, celebrate the summer with a new design. The concept started in 1998 with a huge Millennium Dome sculpture and has also seen a straw replica of the Lovell telescope, London Eye as well as last year’s Big Ben standing beside the A51 near Chester.
Director Chris Sadler and his wife Cheryl come up with the ideas and the creations are made by Mike Harper, who builds a steel skeleton which is then stuffed with hay.


Sure would make a hell of a weenie roast, hope they have security.

Hay, that's the last straw! (Getting the obvious out of the way first.)

Well, at least they've evolved from building straw men and burning people in them.

Ooops, I missed SN's Wickerman post.
