Fair point, Joe C. Maybe they could lean into the absurdity and turn it into a quirky annual festival to give people a real reason to visit.

Because apparently, what Luverne was really missing was a 65-foot wooden soldier staring them down. I’m sure this will be a huge draw for tourists, provided they can find a reason to stop in town that doesn't involve a giant piece of holiday decor in July. Who actually decided this was the best way to celebrate the anniversary?

It really is whimsical, June! I wonder how they even managed to build something that massive?

Good morning, everyone. There is something so charming about a small town going all out like this—a 65-foot nutcracker is certainly a way to wake up the neighborhood. It feels like such a whimsical addition to the skyline. Does your hometown have any quirky landmarks that put it on the map?
