Edd Hayes Monumental Bronze Commission Sculpture

Official Texas State Sculptor, Edd Hayes was picked to create a monument celebrating Katy, Texas and the prairie surrounding as the Goose Capital. The area has been for many years known for the millions of different species of geese that winter there.

Hayes will create a fourteen feet tall bronze sculpture of four huge 1 1/2 life-size Canadian geese landing and one goose on the ground grazing. The monument will be just off Interstate 10 at the Katy Mills exit. The bronze monument will be landscaped with a limestone rock wall facing the highway with large bronze letters spelling out Katy Texas on the front of the three feet tall limestone wall. It will be known as "The Landing". The monument will be installed in the winter of 2011.
