Gorilla mascot to be returned to Picher area

PICHER, Okla. - Bobo, a 3,800-pound concrete gorilla, is coming home. For years, the mascot for the Picher-Cardin Gorillas stood outside of the high school, but with the demise of the school as part of the buyout of the town, many of the artifacts and much of the memorabilia from the district went up for auction earlier this month.
