It seems like only yesterday that we were perspiring while taking preliminary measurements and re-evaluating layouts under the intense rays of the Colorado summer sunshine. Last week, bundled up in down jackets and amidst scattered patches of snow, the whole crew began installing at Samson Park. The MOA crew, Virgina, Ryan, Tim and I, had a hand in the installation process, namely the Samson Fountain project.

When we arrived, we were surprised to discover that we had to actually engage in some ‘real’ gardening, i.e. pulling up the living flower beds to make way for Lonnie’s electric, sculptural renditions! Working in our mechanical garden, we were relieved to find that our patterns, layout, and electrical connections worked perfectly. The satisfaction of seeing a work of art finally put in place after countless hours and days of work is inexpressible. These feelings will only be surpassed after we see the guaranteed looks of wonder on your faces come opening night, December 3rd.
