sculptors at work in Central Park and
wonder, “Where can I purchase some
of their marble art?”

of pieces of marble sculpture from
many of our visiting artists!
Manned by volunteer members of
the Joe Duck Society, the Marble Store
will be open Monday through Saturday
April 7th to 17th from 10:00 a.m. until

Once Upon a Time dedication scheduled for April 26th
Once upon a time, a talented
young sculptor came to Sylacauga
for the annual Magic of Marble
Festival... and for all intents and
purposes, didn’t leave...
What Craigger Brown did was to
create pieces of marble art that will
live for the ages in the heart of our
city, a symbol of our history...
Browne’s Sylacauga Emerging has
literally become the most recogniza
ble symbol of our community on the
lawn of the City Hall Complex...
And recently, his four latest
pieces of art, the Once Upon a
Time collection were moved from
their birthplace at the corner of
Norton & Hickory to the lawn of
the B.B. Comer Library for their
finishing touches...
The work was commissioned to
honor the memory of Mayor & Mrs.
Curtis Liles, Jr. And on Sunday,
April 26th at 2:00 p.m., the marble
art collection will be unveiled and
dedicated in a special ceremony on
the lawn of the library!
