At 10:30 this morning, you can attend the Unveiling Celebration for our newest piece of public art. “Protecting the Future” depicts an elk and her two calves. It has been installed in the roundabout at Heritage Road and Kimball Avenue (map). This piece was the brainchild of Heritage Dells resident Preston Driggers, who organized the neighbors and led the fundraising efforts that made the piece possible. The artist, Christine Knapp, will be present for this morning’s event, and you’ll have the chance to view the piece up close. Learn more at www.awego.org.
