The first time I went to Lambs Farm was when I was pretty young. We went there to adopt a dog because we liked the idea of supporting the non profit. I don’t remember much else about the visit, and I really don’t remember whether or not the muffler man was there. Really all I was concerned about at the time was puppies!

The last time I went to Lambs Farm, I was on a road trip around Chicagoland (where we saw a similar shiny muffler man in Evergreen Park). The business was, unfortunately, closed the day we went, so we didn’t get to get too close to this Paul Bunyan muffler man and larger than life cow. But we did get to admire the Illinois roadside attractions from afar.
