Contest!!!
Help name the cow sculpture and win ice cream!
The National Endowment for the Arts funded public art
projects for the Uniontown Community Development Association to be located
near highway 195 at the north and south entries to the
town.
Working with UCDA's Julie Hartwig and area farmers to
procure metal parts from old agricultural equipment, Lewiston artist John
Bergen is creating a larger-than-life cow to be installed in the field across
from the Dahmen Barn at the north end of town. Use of these parts celebrates
Uniontown's farming roots and will remind viewers that the Dahmen Barn was
built for use as a commercial dairy.
UCDA is kicking off the "Name the Cow Sculpture
Contest" at the Dahmen Barn's 7th annual fall event, "An
Old Fashioned Sunday in Autumn" on September 15 from 11 am to 4 pm.
Ideas for names must be submitted at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn that day
or until September 30. Junette Dahmen, donor of the Barn to the
community, will select her favorite name and the winner will enjoy an ice cream
prize.
Artisans at the Dahmen Barn is a non-profit creativity
center in Uniontown.
The three story facility is fully handicap
accessible and has no daily admission fee. It is open Thursday through
Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm. Information: www.artisanbarn.org or 509-229-3414.
