For a more true to life account of the events surrounding Oscar [1]

A great aunt of mine, Hazel May Rapp Greider, was once on Sand Lake (now part of Chain O'Lakes State Park, Noble County, Inidana [2] and saw a turtle with a head the size of a child's. Flabbergasted, she could not speak and only pointed. Her husband, who was rowing the boat, looked over his shoulder just as the turtle submerged. I believe!

It is quite possible that is could have been "Oscar" or a distant cousin. The lakes in that area are connected by channels and underground peatmoss making quite an enjoyable home.

In any case, the town has adopted Oscar as its mascot and celebrates the excitement of his sightings each June.
