Prepare to gawk and giggle at the wacky Patrick Amiot sculptures gracing front yards along Florence Ave. Fashioned from recycled materials, a hot-rodding rat, a hectic waitress and a witch in midflight are a few of the oversized and demented lawn ornaments parading along the street. Keep an eye out and you'll notice more of these scattered throughout Sebastopol.
