They are a bit creepy looking but still very neat. And the fact that they tied this one into the other little girl one was even better. Got to give those guys hanging from the tether lines credit. I don't see any safety equiptment on them. What do they do with these things the rest of the year wehen the art fest isn't going on. Just store them in a warehouse?
