Local artist Dan Toone’s largest sculpture ever is drawing visitors to a new park in Davis County

By Carl Fauver

Renowned Taylorsville sculptor Dan Toone doesn’t get his hands wet with sticky modeling clay when he does his thing. The father of four and granddad to nine also has no time for a mallet and chisel, like the OG Renaissance man, Michelangelo. Nope – Toone is more of a “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure” kind of guy.
