Organ and Camp Displays Attract West Park Street View
A large pipe organ and a camp scene occupy two shop window displays on West Park Street drawing pedestrians. Creator WH Bowden fashioned the organ from hardware items with a golden oak frame and knives for keys, thumb tacks as stops, axes and brushes as pedals, and colored wood panels. A mirrored trey above the organ adds shine while a realistic camp scene in the nearby window shows a tent, hunter with dog, camp gear, and even a motor restaurant table with a snake bite remedy flask. The only missing element is a musician to play the organ.
