Sculpture Dedication Saturday, March 11th, 1pm
The unveiling and dedication of the Phoebe Judson sculpture, originally scheduled for December, had to be postponed due to problems at the foundry. The new date for the dedication is Saturday, March 11th, at 1pm. The placement will be at the corner of Front and 6th streets, just outside of the Chamber of Commerce office. The figure, honoring the “Mother of Lynden” is by renowned sculptor Robert McDermott, who sculpted the popular Dirty Dan and J.J. Donovan benches in Fairhaven. Phoebe was the founder of the city and gave it its name. Plans are to have her husband, Holden—the first mayor of Lynden—join her at a future date. Hot drinks will be served at the ceremony.
