Emma Big Bear Dedication coming Saturday
Emma Big Bear, the fifth statue in the Mississippi River Sculpture Park, arrived on Tuesday, July 12. Tom Nelson and the six-man community work crew from the Prairie du Chien Correctional Institution unloaded her and installed her on her concrete pad. Florence Bird, creator of the statue, took this photo shortly after the installation was completed and the sculpture was covered. By Saturday, July 16, a formal, embroidered cover will disguise the statue until the official unveiling begins. The ceremony begins at 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 16, in the Sculpture Park on St. Feriole Island.
Battle Point to add music to Dedication ceremony
Battle Point, a Ho-Chunk drum circle, will travel from Black River Falls to honor the Ho-Chunk artisan Emma Big Bear at the dedication of her statue on July 16. The drum, big enough to accommodate five musicians, was built by Lance Blackdeer, the group's lead singer. Blackdeer has sung at a number of gatherings, including one of the Inaugural Balls honoring President Barak Obama.
