EDITORIAL: Brushing up in Cameron Park
If Patrick Dougherty’s enchanting landscape sculptures of twisted saplings woven together in fantastic shapes and sizes are any indication of what’s in store for the 100th birthday of Cameron Park this year, count us as excited.
The last things we need for a year-long birthday party celebrating one of Waco’s most unique assets are the mundane and the predictable.
The nonprofit Waco Cultural Arts Fest recently won a $25,000 National Endowment for the Arts grant to fund the project, which Dougherty will construct this fall in Pecan Bottoms in the park. Trib staff writer J.B. Smith tells us it’ll be built over three weeks using volunteer labor and brush, vines and that invasive but striking-looking bamboo in the park.
Our only caveat: Please, no weenie roasts in the park during the project’s construction this fall.
