As part of the Creative Criccieth Project Image three mini-sculptures have appeared on a wall that was previously covered by a hedge. The middle one features a Signing Cockerel Image Below it is a board which recounts the tale of a tourist who demanded 70p from the council for ear-plugs after been awakened during his stay in the town, It also recalls how renowned local harpist and three times National Eisteddfod winner Nansi Richards crossed paths with American entrepreneur Will Kellogg whilst on a tour of the States. It was around about the time he happened to be looking for a new way to market his firm's decision to switch from selling cereal in sacks to individual cardboard boxes. Legend has it that she suggested using the sunrise serenading farmyard bird because cockerel in Welsh - ceiliog - sounded a lot like Kellogg. So taken was the man himself with the story that he decided to give the cockerel the red, white and green colours of the Welsh flag. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/fun-stuff/surprising-welsh-connection-every-bowl-14312561
