This Balloon Dog Weathervane was first commissioned by a resident of Salt Lake City who was inspired to create a gathering place in his urban setting where none existed, knowing that we must all make community to stay happy. He called his little yard where many were invited to commune Meanwhile Park. It was hugely popular! What an inspiration! This whimsical Balloon Dog was mounted on a single car garage at the park.

The copper sculpture piece is fabricated in swell-bodied style, and hammering those smooth, roundish shapes was a lovely challenge for our talented vane makers! It is inscribed, Meanwhile Park, and the date. ‘Lucky Pennies‘ from important dates were chosen to be attached inside the dog. We love how darn CUTE it is!
