鈥淏ulloch County Family Tree鈥 Eagle to Land at Statesboro Regional Library
秋葵视频 and the Bulloch County Historical Society invite the public to celebrate the installation of the newest Eagle Nation on Parade (ENOP) sculpture, 鈥淏ulloch County Family Tree,鈥 at the Statesboro Regional Library, 124 S. Main St., on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 5:30 p.m.
Over the past year, the Bulloch County Historical Society has worked diligently with ENOP team members to create a piece of art that can be celebrated for its beauty and historical representation. The six-foot-tall 鈥淏ulloch County Family Tree鈥 eagle will join the ENOP flock as the eighth sculpture to be placed on display in Bulloch County.
Created by Scott Foxx, a master of fine arts candidate in the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art (BFSDOA), the eagle takes visitors on a tour of important Bulloch County people and places, including iconic figures Jack Averitt, Emma Kelley and Willie McTell, along with buildings and businesses such as Franklins Restaurant, the courthouse, Georgia Southern and the Statesboro Regional Library. The eagle鈥檚 design was painted in a folk-art style, allowing for the historic elements to be depicted in a way that is both easily recognizable and fun.
“I am very pleased that a work of mine will be a teaching tool for years to come,鈥 said Foxx. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 often get a chance to have such control over my commissioned works, and I was happy that the Historical Society saw eye-to-eye with me on the theme and inspiration of artist Howard Finster鈥檚 portraits.”
鈥淚 think this eagle will give people who have lived here all their lives, as well as those who may have just moved to town, a sense of pride and belonging to Bulloch County,鈥 said Historical Society Chairwoman Connie Sanders. 鈥淓very time you look at the eagle, you discover a new piece of the county鈥檚 history.鈥
The eagle will be on permanent display outside the south side of the library facing East Grady Street. 鈥淓agle Nation on Parade is a wonderful project,鈥 said Sanders. 鈥淚 hope that children and adults alike will enjoy learning about Bulloch County from our eagle.鈥
