The first time see entering Girard is the giant American flag at the American Legion Post,Pam Grout in her book "Kansas Curiouties" says it's 30x60 and takes 20 men to hoist it up the 130 feet flag pole. The parking lot picture by the way is my attempt to be artsy,capturing the shadow.
On into town you encounter the Courthouse square,watched over by a grain silo.At one end is an impressive Vietnam Veterans memorial complete with a huey helicopter.Needing to make a pit stop we bypassed the Peppermint cafe and walked into the White Elephant,an antique store advertising "Old Stuff, and New stuff."
A note on the deer statue, town founder Charles Strong killed a deer on the site,one of the more unique statues I've ran across on a town square.
