A year or so ago someone in the Cloverdale business or someone at Surrey's city hall came up with the idea of revitalizing downtown Cloverdale and contracted 3 statues to be erected depicting Cloverdale's history.
The first statue showed up a few months ago. Its some guy wearing a baseball cap and leaning on a post. I'm not sure how that depicts Cloverdale's heritage to a rural farming community. Other than perhaps suggesting that Cloverdale farmers wear ball caps and prefer to lean against fence posts other than getting any work done.
Brings back memories of the old Cloverdale Clunk jokes I heard growing up. Yes, I'd say this statue should be aptly named The Cloverdale Clunk.
Gotta have some fun with him. I thought he could use some reading material and he is holding a copy of Rain Song by Alice Wisler. I show him that I know how to lean too.
