No, there is no shortage of Humpty Dumptys in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — Where is Humpty Dumpty?

That's the question circulating on social media in Colorado Springs in recent days, as people wonder where one of the nearly two dozen Humpty Dumpty sculptures that decorate the city has gone.

The missing sculpture is the one that sits across from the El Paso County Courthouse and many fear it may have been stolen. But don't worry, because KRDO13 has learned that the famous clumsy egg is safe and sound.

There are 21 different Humpty Dumpty sculptures throughout the city, each located in a different location and each with a different personality. The missing sculpture depicts two of the anthropomorphic eggs playing chess.

KRDO 13 spoke to the artist who created the sculpture and learned that it is currently undergoing repairs after the table portion was damaged.

“I’ve been making these for 44 years. When my son asked me to make this Humpty Dumpty, I made him this little little model out of a mold of a chicken egg. Well, he’s 44 years old now, so I’ve been making these for a long time. And Colorado Springs got one through one of the sculpture rental programs, so they have it every year and it’s been very popular,” said artist Kimber Fiebiger.

It's not yet known when the eggs will return, but we'll be sure to let you know when we see them.
