Facelift for Two Friends

Two wooden heads were carved and installed by Bryan Lorentzen, former owner of Parkway Floral, at the pavilion in Area 5A. They were copied from two heads that were removed due to years of UV and insect damage. At our December holiday gathering, he elaborated on the process. He discovered the structural beams the heads were carved on were made of pine wood. For the replacements he decided to use basswood instead. He had some difficulty reattaching the new carvings and finding an exact paint color match. We are very grateful for his time, exceptional talent and overall perseverance. Be sure to look for his work among the 40 different heads in the same pavilion the next time you visit! (He signed his carvings)
