Lloyd Prouty made it his mission to save Paul Bunyan and reunite him with his blue ox, Babe, in Shelton. A fiberglass statue of the legendary giant logger originated as a roadside attraction outside a Tacoma gas station, and later in Shelton, in the early 1960s. “I used to walk by it every day on my way to school,” Prouty said. “I was fascinated with Paul Bunyan.”
The statue was given to Shelton High School as a mascot, but some fans from rival Tumwater High stole his 9-foot ax. In 1995 Prouty was among a group of Shelton residents who went looking for the ax. Thanks to some tips, they found it hidden in a Tumwater man’s backyard.
