On an airplane going somewhere, umpteen thousand feet above the earth, I talked to the traveler next to me, as one does. The subject of sculpture came up. This lady happened to be from Oak Harbor, on Whidbey Island.

 

"Oh, you should see this wonderful stone sculpture in La Conner. The kids have so much fun playing on it." This was a great thing to hear.

 

Later, when some business got me into the neighborhood of La Conner I went to see our sculpture for myself and was able to take some photos. It indeed looks fabulous.

 

The assemblage of the three is very inviting there on the plaza at the entrance of town.

 

There is even a new red picnic table there for people who want to sit and watch their kids at play.

 

Let’s have a hearty round of applause for all the tenacious and hard working participants on this now publicly confirmed, successful group project.
