Autumn Leaf Bear
Imagine a pile of leaves in the shape of a bear?

Many people often will go out of their way to pass through our neighborhoods just to see the fall colors that surround them in autumn.

Creating a design that captures the aspect of Autumn in Clarion and the celebrated time of the year was important to Steve Jaworski.

Fabulous Foxburg Fun
is proof positive that Foxburg has much to offer. Dressed in his fishing attire, he has just returned from the wild and scenic Allegheny River at Foxburg, listed in Pennsylvania Magazine as one of the top ten fishing areas in the United States. After fishing, our Fabulous Foxburg Fun friend will head to the Foxburg Golf Course, the oldest course in continuous use in the nation and the American Golf Hall of Fame. In his hands he holds an assortment of brochures he picked up at the Foxburg Area Information Center, an authentic caboose, donated by Northwest Pennsylvania Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau, and staffed by local volunteers, anxious to share their treasures of Foxburg with the visitor.

Jester
In life, most individuals will be a clown in one way or another at one time or another. Gene Burns of the 800 Center has quite a collection of clown sculptures as well as various clown paintings and they all demonstrate different characteristics as to how we, as individuals, perceive ourselves in the various human moods we experience.

Employees of the 800 Center thought it appropriate to name their bear, “Jester the Clown” as in early times threw was a court jester entertaining royalty. They felt that their bear could help entertain the citizens and visitors of Clarion County.
