TOLS14 update
Living Statues return on May 4
If the rain doesn't stick around on May 4, some of the statues, present and future, will join
visitors at the Mississippi River Sculpture Park, from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. If rain shows up on
Sunday, May 4, Twilight of the Living Statues (TOLS) will be postponed until Saturday, May 10.
Last year, as this photo shows, three statues chatted with a few of the many visitors to the
Twilight of the Living Statues while Dr. Beaumont and his son rested next to their bronze images.
Which statues will show up this year?
Emma Big Bear....Chloe Lorenz
Riverboat Captain....Mike McCoy
Marianne Labuche....Alice Kirschbaum
Mastodon Hunter....Mike Valley
Victorian Lady....Janet Finn
British Redcoat...Robert Carlson
Mound builder...Merle Frommelt
Dousman Daughters...Diamond Iverson
Another Dousman daughter and other living statues might surprise us too. If the rain date
is the right date, we'll send another update.

TOLS Information and Advice

Last year, when visitors arrived at one of the two entrances to the park for Twilight of the
Living Statues (TOLS), many asked "Where do we start?" As they quickly saw, every living
statue has his or her own information to share, so visitors should just go first to whoever is
nearest, or whoever represents your favorite sculpture.
Fourth graders who come to TOLS 2014 as part of an assignment should be sure to see
Cindy Hertrampf so she can guarantee their attendance.
If the weather invites you to sit and enjoy the park, bring your own chair. With two
exceptions (see below), if you'd like to snack among the sculptures, we invite you - as on any
other day - to bring your own.
If you've been keeping track of the "thermometers" like the one above this block, you've
seen that the red line has been creeping up very slowly. It rose because of tickets that were
purchased the Fun-Raising Follies.
Visiting the Sculpture Park has always come without an admission charge, which is why
there is no set fee for enjoying TOLS this year. However, there will be a number of opportunities
to raise the "thermometer" by contributing something during TOLS. You could
* Donate at an entrance to the park
* Buy homemade cookies and lemonade at the Leamy Shelter
* Become a Friend of the Sculpture Park at the street entrance
* Buy a(nother) t-shirt
In advance, thank you.
