Thank you for the beautiful photos Shrandell.
You are correct re: paying homage to their former home in MI....however, if I remember correctly they're also paying homage to the "crackers" (cowboys) of FL as well thus the cattle and man on the horse. The whole feel for the square is kind of an "old west" feel (MHO) of times past.
