Virgil Hilts said...: B_____ C_____. I cheated and right clicked to do a google image search and then narrowed it down to Colorado sculpture, since it looked like CO. Took about 30 seconds. The internet takes all of the fun out of contests.; 7/15/16, 12:44 PM

Not correct.

But I did think a Google image search on that would work.; 7/15/16, 12:52 PM

You should've known it wasn't Beaver Creek since nobody goes to Beaver Creek because it's so crowded.; 7/15/16, 1:25 PM

When we fought the Yankees and annihilation was near,
Who was there to lead the charge that took us safe to the rear?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Toot your own horn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, a man who knew no fear!

When we almost had 'em but the issue still was in doubt,
Who suggested the retreat that turned it into a rout?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Tattered and torn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he kept us hidin' out!

With our ammunition gone and faced with utter defeat,
Who was it that burned the crops and left us nothing to eat?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "September Morn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, the pants blown off his seat!; 7/15/16, 3:13 PM

Thanks!

We liked the sculpture a lot. I hate so much of "public art" sculptures. This one was excellent! It's big, like a tree.; 7/15/16, 3:27 PM
