No Place Like Gnome

This was my gallery display at 2021 SWAT, but unfortunately I had to leave early due to Hurricane Ida bearing down on Louisiana. Made it through the storm with no damage. From L to R they are, Grogg Gnome, Aonghus MacLeod Gnome, Harley Gnome, Flargin Gnome, King Arthur Gnome, Merlin Gnome, Seillean Gnome, Buffalo Bill Gnome, and Gardar Svavarsson Gnome. The sign was done on my CNC and painted by family member who is a very talented artist.

The back stories for each Gnome are:
Grogg - That is what the authorities believe his name is. When authorities try to question him all he says is GROGG, GROGG!!! he is one of the innocent bystanders arrested at the GLM march and authorities are having a hard time communicating with him.

Aonghus MacLeod - It seems that some of the GLM movement members have been arrested, so they have retained the services of well known Scottish lawyer, Aonghus MacLeod. He will be putting off his plans to attend the 2021 Highland Games to aid his brother and sister Gnomes.

Harley - It seems Harley left the lands and forest of his home many years ago and has been enjoying the open roads. He has always been considered a little "off centered" from the rest of the Gnomes. He was enjoying the celebrations and bikers rally in Sturgis when he heard about the GLM movement in Waco and decided to ride down and check it out.

King Arthur - After a long and hard fought battle, Merlin has defeated the evil and dark forces that have plagued the GLM rallies. As a show of unity, King Arthur has made an appearance to assure his royal subjects that peace and harmony has returned to the land of Gnomes. He has decreed that August 28, 2021 shall be " Royal Gnome Day" and that a Royal Banquet will be held for all Gnomes of his kingdom to celebrate.

Merlin - He has been summoned to help expel the evil and dark forces that have been plaguing the GLM rallies and to bring harmony to the land.

Seillean - Gaelic for bee is the Royal Beekeeper and will be in charge of making sure there is a steady supply of Mead on hand for the Gnome Royal Banquet.

Buffalo Bill - Latest member to join the GLM movement and since he is a well known scout, he will be doing reconnaissance before the Gnome rallies to make sure the trouble makers are kept at bay. He will be working closely with Gadar and his security team.

Gadar Svavarsson - A Viking Gnome who will be in charge of security at the GLM rallies.
