As noted in last Wednesday's post, there are several large holiday statues in Rice Park, which is a small downtown square, surrounded on four sides by the Ordway Performing Arts Center, The Central Library, the St. Paul Hotel, and Landmark Center (a former courthouse). I do believe that this will be my final holiday photo!

Antal Dorati is hired to replace him. (Referenced: MNHS:ORG)
I'm getting a stiff neck just looking at that guy!
ReplyDeleteOnwards it is! Erm, Nutcracker Suite showing in St.Paul?
ReplyDeleteI love the oversized figures and their bright colors. I bet the kids love being able to be so close to them.
ReplyDeleteKate, I want to thank you for your warm remarks on my blog. You brought tears to my eyes. I was so touched. Thank you.
Great photo - and a great site. I have been spending time reading through your posts.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely - and yes - I have already been looking at some of those other links - not all 130+ of them yet!
Wishing you a Happy New Year
I do love to see nutcrackers, in the plaza and in the malls and on my mantle, too. It's a great holiday photo, Kate.
