Wade Nachtigall Sculpture Donated To City Park
Metal Artwork Created At College Years Ago By 1987 CHS Grad
Stood Upright For The First Time Today In Collinsville City Park
Tharyn Nachtigall (left, Collinsville Pharmacist) and his son Wade Nachtigall had waited many years to see the sculpture finally raised, as it had been in storage since Wade created it as a college thesis project.
The sculpture started its journey to city park today by being moved out of Tharyn Nachtigall's work shop north of town. City of Collinsville staff took care of the heavy lifting and transport to the park as well as the final installation there.
A caravan of vehicles accompanied the sculpture on it's trip on a flatbed truck down 19th Street to the west side of the park Tuesday Feb. 3, 2015 ... arriving about 11am..
The park sculpture is bolted to a concrete base that was started Jan. 22nd with a hole dug into the sandstone.
