Mayor Hodges Statue

STATUE OF MAYOR MAC HODGES

 

The proposed plan is to have a statue of Mayor Hodges sitting on a bench on Main Street in the area between Copper Canyon and the hotel Louise.

One of Mac’s dreams was to have a life-size bronze statue of George Washington sitting on a bench in the historic downtown area of Washington as a photo attraction. For example, the photo below of him and Lou with Jefferson in Williamsburg.

However, considering what a champion of Washington Mac was, how much he did for his cherished town and how friendly and beloved he was, it seems more fitting to have a statue of Mac to honor his memory.

This is a grassroots initiative. We'd like it to be a true community effort. We are reaching out to ALL who loved, respected and appreciated his dedication and hard work. We need to raise $45,000. This amount will cover the cost of the bronze statue, shipping, and installation costs.

If you would like to be part of this project to memorialize Bear, you may:

·         Share this information with all your friends and family to help spread the word throughout the community.
·         Contribute any dollar amount you choose.

You may donate with a credit card on the GoFundMe website or with a check.

Please write your checks to City of Washington, write Mac in the memo and mail to
