The “Woodsman” was carved in 1986 by a man who had a wood shop in Lyndale, where the Mama’s Happy Shop is now, near Co. Rd. 6 and 92 in Maple Plain, MN. Although he has become weathered, he sits proudly on a stump next to my tool shed.

Loren Remer of New Germany, introduces the Carver County Arts Consortium’s “call” for Silo Art. The call will be open March through April.
Inspired by our flag and gratitude for being an American, Loren decided to paint an American flag on his silo.

New Germany, MN
Note: The Arts Consortium is not a member of any political party or affiliation.
The silo mural was completed during the summer of 2017.
Most of the paint for this mural was recycled, his own and from friends. However, he purchased the red and blue paints for the flag to ensure he had the specific, “American” red and blue.
Loren is proud to have his art be the poster-mural for the Arts Consortium of Carver County’s “call for Silo Art.” And he welcomes folks to his farm at 7190 Cr. 32, New Germany, 55367. He encourages guests to take as many photographs as they wish.
