Travel down RT 40 to Pilesgrove and you will see a long (and tall) standing landmark. It is the Cowtown Rodeo Cowboy. So, what is it like to be 20 feet tall?

One of my family's summer traditions is going to the Cowtown Rodeo, which is located just down the road from the original Richman's Ice Cream, founded my by ancestors, back in the day.

You can't travel past Cowtown without noticing the 20 foot tall cowboy watching the traffic pass by on RT 40 / the Harding Highway.

Here is what the Cowtown Cowboy sees, at 20 feet tall...

I seem to remember the Cowboy holding a rifle in his hands, but has been missing for quite a while to which I can only assume is political correctness. I guess someone would think it was a REAL 15 foot long gun?
