Have you ever seen giant art made of metal? In North Dakota, there is a long road called the Enchanted Highway.

Along this road, you can see huge statues. An artist named Gary Greff made them.

He wanted to help his small town. He built giant metal sculptures to make people smile.

One big sculpture shows huge geese flying in the sky. It is made of metal pipes and wire.

Another sculpture shows big fish jumping in the grass. There is even a huge family made of metal!

Drivers stop their cars to look at the art. They can walk up close and take pictures.

This special road makes a drive through the countryside fun. It shows how art can bring joy to a community.
