There is a new addition out at the Big Springs Boss Shop… a sculpture of a blue and white caterpillar on a red and white mushroom! The figure stands a little over 13 feet high guarding the north side of the shop. The character is made out of old tires.
Bosselman's sponsored the contest that inspired shop employee, Justin Marlow, to design the “Alice in Wonderland” character to be recreated out of old tires. As a promotion for their “Sizzlin' 777” sale this summer, Boss Shops had a contest. Each of their 42 locations had 1 month to design and build a sculpture made of tires. The winning location is rewarded with $777. This summer the crew at Big Springs won it again! Two years ago they won with their tire replica of Mr. Monopoly, also designed by service writer, Justin Marlow. Mr. Monopoly currently watches over the south entrance to the truck bays.
Shop manager, Rick Brown, said he has noticed quite a few families with children stop to take pictures with the whimsical creature this summer. It took a lot of work to assemble and paint the giant bug, especially with the shop being short-handed. But the crew managed to continue their excellent service while putting together an award winning and fun new addition.
