 NATURAL BRIDGE, Va. (AP) — "Foamhenge," a life-sized plastic foam replica of England's famous Stonehenge monument, has made appearances in TV shows and attracted curious visitors from around the world. 
 
 Now, more than a decade after it was installed in Rockbridge County as an April Fool's Day stunt, Foamhenge needs a new home. 
 
 Artist Mark Cline must move the monument before Aug. 1 because it sits on property that will become part of the new Natural Bridge State Park, news outlets reported. 
 
 Foamhenge, a replica of the configuration of huge, upright stones in Wiltshire, England, has served as a local tourist landmark since it was unveiled 12 years ago. 
 
 Cline built the free attraction to entice travelers off the road and, having initially expected Foamhenge's lure to wane within its debut year, he said he has been pleasantly surprised by its enduring popularity. 
 
 "The only reason I hate to move it is because I feel like it does so much good for tourism here," Cline told the Richmond Times-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/24jj9Rg ). "It's been on the BBC and the Discovery Channel, been in several books. It was on 'NCIS' last year, and it appeared as an answer on 'Jeopardy!' the year before. It's become quite a foam-nomenon, so to speak." 
 
 Cline is offering to give the replica to whoever wants it — as long as the owner is ready to pay for shipping and repair costs, and is willing to withstand a constant flow of visitors. 
 
 "It's free to the right home," he told The Roanoke Times (http://bit.ly/1Z3GHlV). "But I'd like to have some say in what the right home will be."
