=Worlds Largest Jackrabbit= == By Joel Wright

Every city has a historic landmark, in Odessa Texas there is a pretty awkward landmark. Its an 8 foot tall Jack Rabbit. "Jack Ben Rabbit is the historic landmark of Odessa" (Odessa convention & visitors bureau). Jack was first pioneered by former Attorney General John Ben Shepperd during his term as Odessa Chamber of Commerce president in 1962. Tom Taylor, who is the former head of the Texas Highway Department Travel and Information Division first initiated the idea of the fiberglass statue. He suggested that it should be a jack rabbit, since there were so many in the area.  The statue's cost was around $2,300 and was built by a California plastics firm. In 1997 there was an attempted "rabbit-napping." After this occurred Jack was moved to the Ector County Independent School District Administration building and is now bolted to a cement slab in the ground. People from all over the U.S. come to Odessa to see what this rabbit is all about.
