Usually seen in a scarf, jacket and trousers, the Thomas Edison statue in Port Huron will be switching his outfit Saturday for something a little more colorful.
On Saturday, lifestyle company Sun Bum will cover 50 statues across the country in banana suits, one in each state, for a campaign to encourage sunscreen use and education. And Edison is Michigan’s chosen statue.
“Bananas can protect themselves with that nice peel, we can’t,” said Andrew Kercher, Port Huron Museums' community engagement director.
Representatives will set up in the area from 7 to 8 a.m. and will be on location with the banana suit until 5 p.m., he said.
