Stepping Out, A Night on the Town

New York artist Bill Brassard and Theresa Shaffe are the proud creators of "Stepping Out, a Night on the Town" for Moosefest 2005. The painted moose depicts a young bull moose leaving his natural woodlands habitat for a night out on the town in Bennington. Complete with top hat, he is bound to get your attention as he stands in front of patron Shaffe's Men's Shop on Main Street.
