Description: Tina Crow - Visitors attach a hat to it when they come here. It's just a quirky, fun idea that someone came up with. Matt Zachary - Soooo. Years ago there was a huge Oak tree there on the other side of the road. It was called “the shoe” tree. Literally hundreds if not thousands of pairs of shoes tied together and thrown up into the tree by passerby’s traveling down the road. The tree died and was cut down and is no longer. So this is the kind of the same thing. However it started as a memorial for a mechanic at the end of that road right by the sign named Bill. He always wore hats. So now people just started leaving hats. Kind of like the shoe tree.
