Pouring the concrete footer for the Horizon letters has commenced.  56 bags of concrete trucked out and ready to be made into art.

Day 2: Forms Complete and Help Arrives

All of the forms are now in place, ready for the start of concrete pouring tomorrow.  More help arrived today from Ven who drove up from his residency in Roswell.  He's graciously offered up his time for a couple a days to push us closer to completion.  Thank you Ven!!!
