Delectable Popsicles Recall Youthful Delight
It was a warm and somewhat humid day in Orange Memorial Park, yet these particularly inviting popsicles did not melt. Rather the nine foot trio of stacked treats recalled images of youthful delight indulging in the refreshing snack. What could the flavors be, perhaps strawberry? grape? orange? watermelon? boysenberry? mango? Appropriately titled "Popsicles," the second sculpture acquisition created by sculptor CR Gray is located on the roundabout median, at the end of the picnic area parking lot, off of Memorial Drive. For more information on the newest sculpture installations, visit the Cultural Arts- News & Events webpage
