Does Rain On My Parade

Paul Bunyan

Who appears to be wearing a Bike Helmet.

Strange.

Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack in American folklore. His exploits revolve around the tall tales of his superhuman labors, and he is customarily accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox. The character originated in the oral tradition of North American loggers,and was later popularized by freelance writer William B. Laughead (1882–1958) in a 1916 promotional pamphlet for the Red River Lumber Company. He has been the subject of various literary compositions, musical pieces, commercial works, and theatrical productions. His likeness is displayed in several statues across North America.

I think this one might be in Ossineke, Michigan.

Bonus - If it wasn't for Bad Luck...

Fischer Opera Haus, Frankenmuth, Michigan.
