This weekend Wolf Hills had its annual Festival of Wolves. And as part of this, they had. . .wolves! Not real ones, though. Instead they were fibreglass statues. People or businesses in town could sponsor a wolf, whereupon the Wolf Committee would deliver one of the wolf statues to them. Then the statue would be all artisticified up, and on the big day they would all be put on display in front of the house or business. This year there were twenty-seven wolves.
1) Abby. Sponsored by the Town Council.
