Second trip, fifth stop: Swetsville Zoo

Just outside Fort Collins, CO is the former farm now sculpture park by Bill Swets, the Swetsville Zoo. There are over 160 sculptures in the park. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/COFTCswetsville.html




This is Bill Swets. He is working on a very
large gate in this photo. He's a very friendly
guy. He's never sold a single sculpture, but I don't think it's for a lack of buyers.

Several of the sculptures move in the wind, like this one.

Bill Swets also has a building full of bicycles he's created, but our photos didn't turn out. He's very famous around the area for his 6 or 8 man bike which has been in many, many parades.
