Dragon stolen from shelterbelt
new dragonpic
This dragon sculpture by Jim Vance has disappeared from his rural Barton County home. Along with the dragon head and neck shown here, a long pointy tail piece was also taken from the other end of the shelter belt.
About 11 years ago, Jim Vance’s grandson told him every forest needs a dragon. Not long after, one appeared in the rural Claflin resident’s shelterbelt.How it got there wasn’t really a mystery. Vance wanted to build an airplane out of fiberglass and epoxy, but first he wanted some experience using the material.
