The Rhinelander Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated the Hodag’s newly refurbished claws yesterday morning. Local sculptor, Chuck Williams reattached the laws this June after they were stolen last winter. Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, Bill Clow says Chuck Williams offered his skills to give the Hodag his claws back.
“Chuck, when he read about the story about the claws being ripped off.. He came to us. He’s done a lot of work for the Disney corporation, so he really knows what he’s doing. He loves the Hodag like many of us do, and he wanted to do what he could to help.”
Clow says the process of getting the claws back on the Hodag went fairly quickly after the police report was filed, two men were arrested for the theft, and the claws were recovered.
The Hodag also announced his campaign for the presidency of the United States yesterday morning.
