The teepee is a fixture of Farmer John's Pumpkin Farm. He explained to us that the turtle on the left symbolized the center of the universe and the bear symbolized strength.

Wednesday night, vandals broke the landmark teepee and smashed pumpkins at Farmer John’s Pumpkin Farm, according to the County Times. John Muller says that he’ll have it repaired by Monday, but that it will not be ready for the Pumpkin Festival this weekend.
We went to Farmer John’s Pumpkin Farm earlier this week to shoot the pumpkin logo on our site. He was very accomodating and let us do pretty much what we wanted during the shoot, but insisted that we "Respect the teepee". He’d had Native America artists come out and decorate it to assure its authenticity.
Farmer John is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the vandals.
