What's next for this dummy?
Travelers along Rt. 872 between Austin and

Coudersport often pause as they pass the Lilja residence

on the highway's west side. What began as a silly

Halloween decoration in October has become a social

statement, as the Liljas dress the

dummy at the end of their

driveway to keep up with the

times. For turkey season, he

held a rubber replica of a

wild gobbler in one hand

and a shotgun in the other.

Then came deer season,

when he warmed

himself with a hide and

donned his blaze

orange vest. Wet

weather before

Christmas brought

out the umbrella and,

last weekend, the

grim reaper ushered

in the New Year's

baby. What

next?!?!

With

Presidents

Day,

Groundhog

Day and

Valentine's

Day in the

offing, one

can only

guess!
