Lampasas High School spirit clubs made signs to let everyone know the seventh annual Art in the Park event was taking place at the Hanna Springs Sculpture Garden, Saturday, April 28, 2012. Hundreds of people showed up from all over Texas to see the new arrivals to The Garden and just have a good time listening to music, shopping with a variety of vendors, visiting with the new artists, and in general enjoying what this park has to offer.
The children attending had an especially rewarding time with the variety of free activities. Family Medicine Clinic provided, at no charge, bicycle helmets. Tables were set up with on -hand art activities. Artists Nancy Gray and Larry Hullum were allowing children to participate in some limestone carving.
The Lucky Ranch Grill set up cooking at the Garden. If you did not attend, you missed out on some excellent food. Pillar Bluff Vineyards, Texas Legato and Fiesta Winery, three local vineyards, were offering tasting samples and product to sell.
Four new sculptures were installed this year. Artist Bob Ragan brought "Lemon Squeezer", artist Dan Pogue brought "La Fiesta", artist Reven M. Swanson brought "Rolling Dancing Moon II", artist Rebecca Low brought "Unbundled", and artist Eliseo made an encore presentation with "Eternal Love". Mr. Kuehne's 6th Grade Art Class had a one day only presentation of "Radioactive Badgers". Inspired by "Radioactive Cats" by artist Sandy Skoglund, the students created bright neon green paper mache badgers doing all kinds of things.
This event could not have been possible without the help of LAFTA Board Members, contributing artists, many volunteers and of course, all the people who showed their support by attending. Donations are always welcome.
