Lynn and Skip Wallen

​
Meeting of bear sculpture and new owner (in blue shirt) in Jackson, Wyoming, Oct 18.  The other guy is Steve Parks who delivered the bears from his foundry in Enterprise, Oregon.  Lynn
("I am an excellent driver") and Skip drove out to Wyoming to meet the bears and help get the sculpture sited in a grove of aspens at a private residence near Teton Village.

​Maneuvering the sculpture through the woods to final site, suspended from lift.  Fortunately, no open season on bears in this area.

Dear Friends,

We have looked forward to this day for nine years!  And it has now come and gone.  We held the dedication of the Spirit of the Rivers monument on Sunday, September 16th at 2:00.  It was a glorious day with beautiful weather and hundreds of happy observers
.  
​We'd like to thank the hundreds of people who made this special day happen.  Those who donated their time, talent or financial resources in one way or another - all are greatly appreciated.  We honor you!

Please enjoy this video of the dedication ceremony.   Note that we did not record Earl Meshigaud, Cultural Director of the Hannahville Potowatomi performing the blessing of the monument, as he requested.  Those of us who were there to witness the blessing done in his native tongue and translation found it very moving.

Enjoy!

Carol Wergin
Spirit of the Rivers

"There is no monument in the state of Wisconsin - nor to my knowledge - the Midwest, that compares to the Spirit of the Rivers."  -  Anton Rajer, author of Public Sculpture in Wisconsin
