Whether it would make any lasting difference in the community remains to be seen. I bet the "Tourist" numbers drop eventually, the chruch goes back to it's original numbers or has a big split. The other problem with spending that much money on styrofoam - That's gonna cost a lot to upkeep and if they don't upkeep it it's gonna look bad. Really - I'm somewhat religious but this is shameful I think. So what if they give that much money to poor in their area - what about the rest of the world?? Just cause you give some money does that mean you can waste it on a roadside attraction to get publicity?? Really. I find it disgraceful. Sure it's cool looking.
On another note - I can't see our wire, styrofoam and paint can cost that much. $250,000?? Sure figure in labor but who on earth charges that much - Wish I'd been the one paid to do that. I would have tried to make it less chopped.
