BoddaH1994 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 This sculpture by Gavin Bruce Creative will be placed at Kings Islandon May 9th. This is a sculpture dedicated to Gabriel Taylor, who had the wonderful opportunity to be A Kid Again at Kings Island before losing his battle with bone cancer at age 6. Fund raisers such as "Scream for A Kid Again" and the Diamondback first rider auction allowed Gabriel to enjoy such things as visiting Kings Island, the Cincinnati Zoo, or Reds games to, for just a brief time, forget about his illness and be a kid again.http://www.akidagain.org/ This statue will be unveiled on May 9th at 2:00p at the entrance to Planet Snoopy - near Charlie Brown's Wind Up. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I was hoping this would be unveiled later in the day. I would love for my daughter to meet the artist. I think this will be a beautiful addition for the park and for A Kid Again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
