HAPPY LABOR DAY from the Cardiff Kook in Cardiff-by-the-Sea CA

 

The Cardiff Kook is all dressed up this weekend in celebration of the Labor Day Weekend. Take a look!

The Cardiff Kook has gained some notoriety in the area since the surfing statue was installed in Cardiff several years ago, as it is often decorated to fit with the current holiday or in other ways depending on the whims of the locals who delight in dressing it up.

 

The Cardiff Kook celebrated the Royal Wedding some time ago, and just recently was all dressed up in the most elaborate setting yet - with a pterodactyl swooping down on the status. The Cardiff Kook even has his own website that captures all the fun over the last few years.

It’s all great fun, although not everyone agrees with the statue’s presence to begin with, or the fun that area folks are having with the decorations.

 

HAPPY LABOR DAY

 

Mayke it a safe and fun weekend with family and friends.

 

But most importantly our thoughts and prayers out to those who are continuing to struggle with the damage from Irene, and those in the south coping with the tropical storm and rain.

And to you as well. Isn't it a nice feeling sometimes, even though it can be hard to do. Hope you didn't have too much damage from the storm.

Jeff - I know this is hard to believe as I'm always working or doing something productive, but this weekend I had a few chances to relax and just enjoy being with friends.  I forgot how great it was to have a good time!  I really have to do this more often!  Hope you are enjoying your holiday and not working all weekend either!

I hadn't read about the Cardiff Kook previously.  Sounds like fun =)  Do you have pictures of his getup for the Royal Wedding?

George - working on it. Hope you are enjoying what's left of the day.

Sally - hope it is a good for you, too. HOpe you are taking some time off.

Michelle - it really is a lot of fun to see what people do with this statue. I've missed some of the best ones F@F but hacing the site is great fun.

Gail - good for you. Doesn't it feel good? I am NOT working all weekend, either. We had a great dinner party last night.

Hi Jeff, I think it is cool that the kinds took over this sculpture. They didn't like it much originally but sure do seem to be having fun with it with all the different way they dress it up. It has become a cultural icon and I hope they continue to customize it to suit their tastes. It adds a lot of local flavor.
