POWAY ---- Three years after the city commissioned her and approximately 100 years after the settlers she represents lived in the area, a larger-than-life bronze sculpture of a pioneer woman was unveiled in Old Poway Park. The council's decision to scuttle the project last year left the bronzes without designated a homes until this spring, when the council decided to they should go in the park and at Lake Poway. The second sculpture, "The Pride of the Wilderness," will be unveiled at 9 a.m. today next to the lake's snack shop and boat ramp. The public is invited to attend. For more of this and other reports, check back tomorrow in the North County Times
Poster Comment: Wow, this sounds like it might get interesting.
The 7-foot-tall sculpture, which includes a baby in the woman's arms plus a dog and chickens at her feet, is one of two the city commissioned from Poway artist Richard Becker in 2004, with plans to install the art pieces outside a community fine arts center once planned for Old Poway.

They ain't in Kansas out there anymore. Maybe they could hold off the unveiling until Columbus Day?
