So many people complained about it that the town had another statue commissioned. It was unveiled on Saturday, which would have been Lucille Ball’s 105th birthday.

So, what are they doing with “Scary Lucy”? Nothing. She will still be haunting a far corner of Lucille Ball Memorial Park because she’s drawn thousands of people to the town over the past year.
