In 2000, Lindsborg decided to cast the traditional Dala shape in large fiberglass forms – an idea patterned after Chicago’s cows on Michigan avenue. Local people and folks with Lindsborg connections sponsor each Wild Dala. Each is unconventionally decorated by one on the towns many local artists. Each new horse is feted in a public unveiling party complete with street theater and parody songs sung by the crowd.

Located at 135 N. MAIN SW corner State & Main Sts.
Sponsored by Grandchildren of Carl and Esther Anderson. This traditionally decorated Dala celebrates two traditional Swedes: Carl Anderson, a Lindsborg plumber who avoided personal timepieces but was prompt for every appointment and Esther Anderson, who whipped up treats from the kitchen with no recipe. Their grandchildren say that Moo-Moo and Mor-Far Anderson “just knew.”
