Fairgrounds Attraction
Visit Nelson!
Nelson, our giant wooden Sasquatch, was built onsite during the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. His forever home is located at the Main Gate of the Fairgrounds (open all day) and is handicap accessible for everyone to view!
Here are some cool facts about Nelson:
- He is 18’ across from shoulder to shoulder.
- He’s 27’ tall.
- His foot size is 7’, that’s a shoe size of 98!
- 300’ of treated 2’x4’ were used to build him.
- There were 5,000′ board of poplar wood used in the construction.
- The head alone weighs between 600-700 pounds.
- The tractor and plow were incorporated because of Mercer County’s strong Ag background.
We would love you to check out our Sasquatch! He is available to view 24/7 and is FREE for all visitors!
