30 holiday cutouts on Jane's lawn
Story and photo by Monty Siekerman
Can you find the human in this picture?
That's Jane Helser (center) standing among more than 30 cutouts that form a holiday display in her yard. Her home is located near the end of West Buckeye Avenue.
You'll remember Jane from seeing her write up and photo in The New York Times, People Magazine, Associated Press and CBS News, among other major media outlets.
Why? She was cited when she recently retired from Wilson's where she worked for 48 years, having sewn more than 1 MILLION footballs...and she can draw, saw, sand, and paint pretty good yard decorations, too.
