Worlds Largest Stainless Steel Turkey......(yes, stainless steel)

[Rembrandt]

Driving thru Ames, Iowa today and saw this incredible piece of art work.....a stainless steel turkey sitting in front of the Iowa Turkey Federation building. Snapped a few pictures for you to see. There is also a web site link for the artist Larry Pearson, showing how it was made. Enjoy.....

What strikes me is not so much that it is stainless steel, but that it is a stainless steel turkey, ... (yes, turkey).

Pretty cool photos. Thanx, I needed a lift on a dreary day. from to aint easy at times

Very cool.

Why do you suppose the date on the plaque is still a month away? Possibly a presentation date?

Finally, a good reason for all those 3 1/2" chambered turkey shotguns they sell!

Dang I just sold my 10ga BPS.

Very nice I would hate to see the overall weight of that thing.

Not only is it a stainless steel turkey.

The detail on that turkey is amazing....really great job on the creator(s)

 

[dogrunner]

Magnificent!

But they do strange things in Iowa........was in the Army with a farm boy from near Dubuque.....recall a letter he got from home that he was nearly dancing a jig over. At first I thought his wife had delivered twins.....turned out he was that ecstatic about his cow doing doubles........got the whole squad in tears laughing!

Reminds me of when I lived next to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frazee,_Minnesota#The_World.27s_Largest_Turkey, home of the worlds largest turkey (statue).

Well, besides slopping the hogs and the corn harvest, what else is there to do with your time in Iowa?

Mmm, well, they have Dilly, Texas beat, I reckon....

[Bobson]

Why is the date on the label set to a future date? Does the artist also build stainless steel time machines?
