Artist carves bear sculpture for Rolling Fork
SUMMARY: The two-day conference at the Westin Hotel is showcasing rich music artwork and allowing local artists to network and collaborate. One artist is making a special presentation of a big bear carved out of wood. Rolling Fork, known for its bear carvings, is celebrating the history and culture of the black bear in the South Delta area. The artist, Dayton Scoggin, started with whittling and eventually began chainsaw carving. After a tornado destroyed Rolling Fork, community members quickly stood up and rebuilt the bear sculptures. The theme of the event is the construction bear, symbolizing the rebuilding of Rolling Fork and its rich history.
