The first picture is of the covered bridge leading to the Bavaian Hotel. IT was fabricated on land by a 70 year old man and his son over two years, while the foundations were being put in by another commpany. The bridge is put togather entirely by pegs except for the nails in the shingles on the roof. When the bridge was completed on land, it was jacked up and put on rollers, then a block and tackle assembly was fastened to a capspan on the other side of the river and two oxen turned the capspan for twelve days to get the bridge across the supports, when it was across, it was lowered into place.
The second pic is of bronners christmas store. This store is open all year around sellling nothing but christmas things. they have anything you can imagine for christmas. Although the pic doesnt show it this store covers an acre and a half, it wraps around it an elbow shape. Big place.
