Wind Turbine Blade - Lamar, CO - Preserved Machines on Public Display on Waymarking.com

"Lamar stands apart from other boom-and-bust agricultural burgs, in part because it is making use of what has always been considered the bane of existence here: the wind. In the grass in front of the Colorado Welcome Center, the Lamar Chamber of Commerce displays a 111-foot-long General Electric wind turbine blade. Banners on Main Street proudly announce "Winds of progress, powering our future.""
