The Most exciting regional and community event is here...

Cranes On Parade !

Brought to you by the Kearney Dawn Rotary, Cranes On Parade proudly celebrates the annual migration of the Sandhill Crane...and this year's celebration will be the biggest yet!

Nationally renowned artist, and Kearney resident, Martha Pettigrew has specially sculpted a crane just for this occasion.  The crane will then be mass replicated by Prewitt Fiberglass Animals (Gibbon, NE) for local, regional and national artists to apply their creative touch to.

Sponsors for the project will be assigned to artists and their respective cranes, pushing the event through 2003!  In October 2003, the finalized crane creations will be auctioned off to various art collectors and supporters of Cranes On Parade!

Proceeds from the auction, merchandise, activities and events will go toward Law Enforcement, Community Charities and Organizations, Emergency Services, The Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) and other art projects along with Rotary Projects and scholarships.

Now is your chance to become a proud sponsor of Cranes On Parade!  Not only will your contribution push this event forward, but you, your artist and their creation will be the heart of the entire project!
