Town Talk is in the process of giving final approval on the Bugle Boy statue so they may begin the permanent carving. They form a clay mold and make changes as we request them until we give the ok to begin the stone carving. Once he is ready for delivery, we will owe a balance of $8,000 on the finished statue. Town Talk will meet this week to begin planning fundraising activities.
If you are interested in donating to this project, you may contact me at 918-527-9833 or mail a donation to Town Talk at 301 West 6th Street. This is going to be something not only unique to Stroud but also to our State and another way we can honor and say thank you to our veterans. When the final rendering is completed, I will put a picture of it in this column.
