Karina Andrew reports from the Oak Harbor City Council:
A long-awaited giant acorn sculpture is finally getting a home in Oak Harbor.
City council members unanimously approved a motion Tuesday to erect the sculpture on Southeast Pioneer Way on a city-owned piece of land between Wells Fargo and People’s Bank. The artwork was created by South End sculptor Patrick McVay.
They Said It
“The people want art to mean something,” said councilmember Shane Hoffmire. “This is really something that means something to Oak Harbor.”
“We spent a lot of money to create this promenade to enter our park through, and this is going to be the trailhead to that promenade,” [councilmember Jim Woessner said. “I think it makes it more available for most people to see and touch and feel versus being in a parking lot.”
