Description:

An incredibly detailed 25-foot fiberglass statue was once the advertising figure of a popular restaurant chain. His clothing, although shabby, has an understated sense of pride, a wanderer who chooses to look his best by keeping his pants up with a rope and finishing off his outfit with a kerchief at the neck. Today, he stands as a symbol in Buckeye of the past when migrant workers crossed the nation to look for work.
