Love these chicadees.
Just down the road from me is a convenient roadside store with this huge rooster named
"Ossie"
This rooster has been here for many years as the store was opened many years ago and was the center and still is of this little community.
The name of the community is
Rooster Run.
It is said that all the men would gather here and drink beer and talk about their "old hens."
According to the story all the old hens advanced on the store and the men one day with brooms sticks and shooed them all home.
It was heard said
"Look at all those Roosters Run."
and that is how it got its name.
As you can see it is on a trailer and can be taken to various parades and outdoor functions in the area.
This is definitely one of our local landmarks.
