One-of-a-kind wagon
By Monty Siekerman
Call him an inventor, designer, engineer, tinkerer—but mostly call him a loving father.
Dustin Risser of Ada put many pieces together from a wagon, golf cart, mini bike, and his own imagination to come up with a wagon for his little girl, Petra, 17 months.
The pair were spotted at the F&M picnic on Saturday at Ada War Memorial Park. Dustin said, “I’ve always liked to build stuff. Why have a boring wagon?” The wagon is big enough to accommodate the little one and all of her paraphernalia, like stuffed animals.
The one-of-a-kind wagon isn't finished yet. He plans to add a sign that reads “Risser Flyer” after the Radio Flyer Little Red Wagon that has been manufactured since before the Depression (and still made, costing over $100 each).
Petra tries to pull her dad in the wagon, but isn’t quite old enough to take him for a ride yet. But, someday soon, she will.
