This is my first share on #pinmapple...what a community to get involved with. For my first share, I had to go with a visit to the FAST Fiberglass Mold Graveyard...what a sight to photograph!
The company has been busy since the 1960's and has produced many of the molds that help create roadside attractions over here in the states. If you see a big, pink, fiberglass elephant on the side of the road along I-90, there's a good chance it originated in Sparta, Wisconsin.
This place has it all...mermaids, guitars, Satan, dinosaurs, dragons, waterslides...you name it, and there's a good chance that there is an old mold hanging around the grounds. A lot of it is quite old, too, as you can tell from the fungus growth on the surface of the materials.
There was a Nessie, too...
A skull...
And a massive ice cream cone...
I bet you thought there were no dragons...right? Well, you guessed wrong; lots of dragons too!
All in all, if you are ever in this area of the globe, stop by to check out the sights. Bring a camera along, too!
Again this is my first post to the #pinmapple community. I'm looking forward to keeping this community in mind as we continue to head out for random day trips and family adventures. There are plenty of interesting things in this are to photograph and speak to...I just need to remember to bring a camera along when out and about.
