Highlight Of The Year!

One of a kind
Steiff Studio Ark
Lands in Galax

The Ark was created  by the Master Steiff Artisans to mark the debut of
Walt Disney's "Fantasia 2000".
It has traveled the Globe and finally found its home in Galax Virgina.

The 15' Ark is a sight to see!!!

The Ark is surrounded by pairs of
Studio Giraffe, Hippos, Lions, Elephants, Kangaroos,
Ducks and many many rabbits.
Heading up the Ark as Noah and Mrs. Noah are Donald and Daisy Duck.

Don't be surprised to see Mickey and Minnie and possibly
Jiminy Cricket hop aboard for the journey.
