Work begins on Neihardt/Black Elk sculpture for Neihardt Site in Bancroft

Herb Mignery has started working on the Neihardt/Black Elk sculpture. A generous donation of $25,000 from the family of Maxine Kessinger brings the total of donations to $100,000 of the $150,000 needed for production and delivery of the sculpture to Bancroft, Nebraska. The Neihardt Foundation officers determined that it was time to begin the sculpting process so that the sculpture is completed in time for the 2016 Neihardt Day on August 7, 2016. The Neihardt Foundation has one year to raise the additional $50,000 plus funds to install the sculpture and the landscaping around it.
