The fibreglass sculpture was unveiled on Tuesday after Kinnerton took the opportunity to sponsor the hare following discussions with the town council.
Julie Ely from Kinnerton, said: “2018 will be our 40th year of having a manufacturing site in Fakenham and we can’t think of a better way to mark our anniversary and thank the local community for their support.
“It really is a fantastic town with a strong community spirit and deserves to be represented at this county-wide event.
“We would like all the other businesses in Fakenham to ‘hop’ on board to really put Fakenham on the map this summer.”
