Do a little math, counting butterflies on Pooh Bear, 
ladybugs on frogs 
or adding up numbers on the race cars. 
Learn a little about the Barre Granite Industry when you find “Hope the Pig” 
and do you know why one bear is named “Ursa Lax”? 
Find the only cat on display and then cool off a bit counting snowballs on “Ski VT” in the summer sun. All of the race cars are decorated by graphic artists and signed by their drivers and artists! With 40 statues on display on Main Street you and your “team” are in for a fun time!
