This truly is a "Wander Lane" and approprioately listed on RoadsideAmerica.com. Rick Serocki doesn't just decorate his house for Christmas and other major holidays. His home and yard are decorated year round.
He started decorating the outside of his home in 1985 with one relatively small hitching post. Almost 40 years later, he shows no signs of slowing down. He does it for fun. There isn't much more of a reason. It brings him joy, and he is glad it makes others happy too.
"I never looked at the value. I just enjoy buying it and having people come by smiling and taking pictures," he said.
His yard is always a work in progress. Rick is a self-taught welder. He enjoys taking things that some might consider scrap metal, and turning them into something beautiful like a multipleong snake in his front yard. He also constantly searches on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for new items.
You might think that a house with this many old statues and scrap-metal art might look a little crazy. But in fact, Serocki keeps his home in good shape. There is plenty of walking space in between statues. Flowers add a bright burst of color throughout his two yards. Plus, Serocki keeps all of his statues in tip-top shape by repainting them and clearing cobwebs.
Don't be shy; if you see Rick out, introduce yourself! Maybe he will give you a mini-tour!
