Kevin Murphy and Jim Peters adjust Mechanical Loch Ness Monster for work at Saline Celtic Festival

Mill Pond Mechanical Loch Ness Monster At Saline Celtic Festival Is A Blend Of Engineering And Fantasy

July 13, 2018
As the story goes (or, “once upon a time,” if you prefer): Jim Peters and Kevin Murphy were sitting in the beer tent at a Saline Celtic Festival ….
