Roadside Mysteries: Why we have a Homeowner's Association

One of our 'neighbors', Mr. Bill Swets, was a farmer for many years. He used his amateur welding skills to fix or modify farm equipment, but over the years he became a little more wacky with his welding work. Starting in 1985, he started making metal sculptures and he hasn't stopped since. People who drove by his house would stop and take a look. The traffic jams along Harmony Road caused Bill to add a parking lot and give a name to his creations. He called it the Swetsville Zoo.
