LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Pioneer Pete has been placed back on his perch in front of a Lincoln restaurant.
The repaired fiberglass mascot was raised up Sunday during a ceremony at Lee’s Restaurant. All but the feet of the 5-foot-tall, 200-pound Pete were stolen Aug. 23. Its broken parts were found behind the restaurant a few days later. No arrests have been reported.
The mascot has been outside the restaurant for 50 years.
