People in downtown Plymouth Tuesday morning had the opportunity to see a herd of bison on the streets. This wasn’t a typical hear of bison but a trailer filled with 5 foot tall, 100 pound fiberglass bison as part of the State’s Bicentennial project.
Their goal, to have at least one of the bison on display in each of Indiana’s 92 counties along the Bicentennial Torch Relay route.
On Tuesday the snow-white bison were delivered to Bremen and Plymouth, the only two that will be in Marshall County. In Plymouth the bison will be painted by artists from the Heartland Artist Gallery with scenes depicting the different communities in Marshall County.
