In our last (Summer) issue of PoultryPress, we told you
about the beautiful memorial service the city of Takoma Park held
for their beloved 10-year resident-at-large, Roscoe the rooster,
following his death last February. UPC president Karen Davis is a
proud member of the all-volunteer Roscoe Memorial Committee which
chose the statue that will be cast in bronze and erected in
downtown Takoma Park at a dedication ceremony to be held in
Spring 2000.
The Roscoe Committee unanimously selected Takoma Park artist
Normon Greene's clay model entry as the winner of the Roscoe
design competition in July. His statue has captured Roscoe's
spirit--forever.
Folks, if you ever loved a rooster, now is the time to send
a wee or weighty donation to a town that shares your love. All
donations will go towards paying the artist, erecting Roscoe's
statue, an inscription plaque, mounting materials, and dedication
ceremony expenses. Send your donation payable to Roscoe's
Memorial Fund, c/o Eric Bond, Editor, Takoma Voice, PO Box 11262
Takoma Park, MD 20913 (301-891-6744; E-mail voice@takoma.com).
