\u201cI know that we have some sculptures from 2008, and there probably is some older ones out there. I’ve lived in Great Falls my whole life, and I\u2019ve just seen them start to grow and grow, and there’s a lot of them out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Explore the River’s Edge Trail through selfies and sculptures<\/p>\n
The City Of Great Falls Park & Recreation Department launched a creative challenge: snap a selfie with five sculptures along the trail and share the photos with the community.<\/p>\n
The trail is dotted with dozens of unique sculptures and installations that celebrate history, culture, and creativity. Among the pieces along the trail: Grizzly Bear; Saxophone; Moose; Tool Tree; T-Rex; and Iris.<\/p>\n
Organizers say this event \u2013 that is usually done during Western Art Week in March \u2013 is designed to help people connect with both the outdoors and public art.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to get people out on the trail and looking at all the art that we have in Great Falls,\u201d said the City of Great Falls trail coordinator Arthur Smovir. \u201cWe\u2019re a really artistic town and just get them out looking at everything we have. We have about 30 pieces on the trail.\u201d<\/p>\n
The rules are simple: tale a selfie with five sculptures of your choice and submit the photos by October 31st to parkrequests@greatfallsmt.net<\/a>. Every participant will receive a prize, and submissions may even be highlighted by the department.<\/p>\n \u201cI know that we have some sculptures from 2008, and there probably is some older ones out there.
