The Springdale Dinosaurs were installed at Hunt Family Treasures. The statues were built by Leo Cate who created many other dinosaurs over the years. The T-Rex (top row) is about 20 feet long and made from polyfoam and wire. The Triceratops (bottom row) 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. These photos are from 2010. In 2011, these statues were sold. The Triceratops is now in a backyard in Springdale. The T-Rex is now located at Sam's Olde Tyme Hamburgers in Rogers, AR. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.
