Foot of Wa pello statue recovered from Courthouse rooftop
The booted foot of the Wa pello statue, toppled by June winds and stored after a storm, has been found atop the Wapello County Courthouse. Firefighters removed the piece, enabling restoration plans and a contractor’s report on cost and timing. The statue will tour local events before potential indoor reinstallation.
