T-Rex & Triceratops 2010 in Springdale, AR |

T-Rex 2012 in Rogers, AR |
||
The T-Rex & Triceratops were installed at Hunt Family Treasures when the photos in the top two rows were taken in 2010. The statues were built by Leo Cate who created many other dinosaurs over the years. The T-Rex is about 20 feet long and made from polyfoam and wire. The Triceratops is made of plaster and fiberglass over a metal frame. These statues were built in the mid-1990s. Cate built dinosaurs for Nate's Fun Land mini golf, in Fayetteville, AR. Nate's and the statues are gone now. This Triceratops is either from Nate's or is a duplicate of the statue that was there. In 2011, these statues were sold. The Triceratops is now in a backyard in Springdale. The T-Rex has been restored and is now located at Sam's Olde Time Hamburgers in Rogers (bottom row of photos). [map] |

These Dinosaurs were built by Douglas W. Birchfield in 1980. The T-Rex and Brontosaurus were part of a children's playground. In 2018, chain link fencing was put up around the T-Rex and Bronto. By 2012, a new dinosaur statue (bottom row above) had been installed. That statue is not behind fencing. [map] |
