Fishy art Downtown!

A few years a go there was an art project in Chicago where people painted bull statues and placed them around the city. In New Orleans, there were fish. often the sponsors would decorate the fish in very imaginative ways, etc. I think we in Jackson have out done ourselves on some of our "Mississippi CATFISH on Parade" statues. some are really outstanding, and better than the ones i saw in New Orleans. I think my favorite one is the "Catfish-Ledger" which sits in front of the Clarion Ledger newspaper. also notable is the "King fish" (Mississippi's king, not the La. version) and "Cleo-catra". take a look!
