For drivers traveling on northwestern Vermont’s Route 128 through Westford, it’d be hard not to notice a rather outsized, impolite gesture.
But don’t worry, Ted Pelkey says the 700-pound wooden middle finger sculpture on his front lawn isn’t for them.

Continue reading “Here’s why a Vermont man put up a giant, illuminated middle finger sculpture on his front lawn”
