TWO NEW STATUE PHOTOS

Due to variations in the bronze patina of the fountain statue, we wanted to see how the statue would look in different lighting conditions. The folks at Stewart Iron Works were kind enough to send these photos with and without a flash. It seems the statue will look beautiful in all types of light, and will take on a life of her own regardless of time of day, or amount of sun or clouds.

LIGONIER FOUNTAIN HOME SAFE AND SOUND

The Ligonier fountain has been returned this week to its original location in the town square after some refurbishing and a new coat of paint. The Ligonier fountain was shipped to Covington, KY and disassembled. The parts have been moulded and the casting process continues. Sincere thanks go out to Paul Fry and all the people of Ligonier for their generosity and help in making our fountain a reality. Our"sister" fountain will be an exact duplicate of the one that was donated to the town of Ligonier by their Fire Department in 1921.

MOULDING AND SOME FINISHED CASTINGS

Photos from Stewart show a glimpse of the intricate moulding and a few of the finished cast iron pieces that will make up our Village Fountain.

VILLAGE FOUNTAIN TAKES SHAPE

We have received a photo from Stewart Iron Works showing the completed statue on June 4, 2010. The bronze casting of the 36" tall woman feeding a dove was completed by New England Sculpture Service in Chelsea, MA. It is now at the Stewart facility in Covington, KY, where work on the cast iron fountain base continues. Other photos show parts being moulded and cast individually, for eventual assembly. The detail is incredible. It is exciting to see the process actually take place, and to think that the fountain that will be a part of our village once again is indeed becoming a reality.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO DONATE, FUNDS ARE STILL NEEDED!
