This fox that guards the streets of downtown Waynesville is so lifelike many a passerby has done a double-take. The hen house is a staple of Appalachian farmsteads, along with the enduring battle to keep the foxes out. Artist Grace Cathey succumbed to the old adage when creating this piece inspired by her sister’s disappearing chickens.
