RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) - A bust of the founder of Rotary International is going to be unveiled in the Vermont city of Rutland.
The bust of Paul Harris will be the seventh in the series of downtown carvings. It will be unveiled Oct. 6 on the west side of Merchants Row.
The Rutland Herald reports that Sculpture Trail organizer Steve Costello said he walked around Rutland with the artists - designer Amanda Sisk and carver Evan Morse - along with members of some area Rotary Clubs who are supporting the project. The group toured downtown to find the right place.
“We walked pretty much around the whole downtown and everybody who was involved very quickly had the same first choice,” he said.
The Rotary website says Harris was born in Wisconsin but moved to the Vermont town of Wallingford when he was 3. He later practiced law in Chicago. He founded Rotary in 1905.
There are a number of notable pieces of art located throughout Rutland.
