Turkey Gehrke

A new tradition of walldogs is developing in old downtowns. Driven by Chambers of Commerce and similar organizations. This commemorates Turkey Gehrke, a tavern keeper from Watertown, Wisconsin who used to go to bed in November, and get out of bed in April. See the full story here...the sign is on the wall of his old bar.
