Mayor Madeline Rogero, Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis and other City Council members, and Mary Vestal community members will unveil new public art in Mary Vestal Park on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 5 p.m.

The piece, entitled “No Place Like Home,” was created by Alan Finch and Joe Babb in 2003 for the Tennessee One Ton Show.

The sculpture was later donated by Candora Properties to the City at the initiative of David Witherspoon, president of Candora Properties.
