People driving down rural roads who see odd metal objects on fence posts probably shouldn't be alarmed. Chances are, they are seeing examples of an art form started by a Havre artist earlier this year - fence art.

Delmer Ruff, who farms and ranches west of Havre, said he noticed a metal sculpture sitting on a fence post on his place one day. Soon he and his family were noticing more, north of Havre, on the way to Great Falls, pieces just popping up here and there.

"So now we kind of look for them," he said. "It's kind of weird but it's good. It doesn't hurt to decorate the country."
