Capitol Avenue Bronze Project to see Three Installations This Week

CHEYENNE – The Capitol Avenue Bronze Project is excited to announce the installation of three bronzes on Capitol Avenue later this week. These are the first bronzes of what will be a collection of 28 statues when the project is complete. The bronzes are in honor of the history and heritage of the people of Cheyenne and Wyoming and depict images of the American West, its people, and wildlife. All bronzes are generously donated by private individuals and families as their gift to the city and the state.

These first three bronzes being donated are:

“My Red Tricycle,” by Rich Haines

Dedication: A gift of Dixie and Tom Roberts in honor of those in our community who support youth.

Placement: Southeast corner of 19^th St. & Capitol Ave.

“In Good Hands,” by Robin Laws
