Danbury Public Works crews paid a visit to Uncle Sam last month to try and figure out a way to structurally support the statue when he is eventually put in place.  The Danbury Fair memorabilia, recently purchased by the City, is currently being restored to its former glory in Harwinton.  As the paint came off, officials said it was evident that the tallest Uncle Sam statue in the world has fallen and been repaired at least 5 times.

Mayor Mark Boughton posted a photo yesterday of the repainted fiberglass statue, and said a fantastic job was done on the restoration.  He has been in discussions with the Governor's office about putting it up at the Exit 2 Welcome Center and rest area.
