A British Garfield In Indiana!

Hey all!

Today kicks off our annual road trip to theme parks and roadside attractions, and this year, we're returning to the Midwest parks! During our journey, we came across a familiar cartoon character dressed in British attire at a highway exit in Gas City, Indiana—British Garfield! This "British Garfield" is a life-sized statue of the famous cartoon character located outside Payne's English Restaurant. Research indicates that this is just one of 14 Garfield characters dressed in various costumes or representations along Grant County's "Official" Garfield Trail. Due to being pressed for time to reach St. Louis, this was the only statue we managed to see, but we will definitely be back! Anyway, check out the photos we took of this cool roadside attraction below!
