Founding Sponsors of Hopewell Valley Arts Council's STAMPEDE Greet Olly

Sky and Liza Morehouse, (pictured in front of Morehouse Engineering), greet Olly, the first fiberglass ox to arrive in Hopewell Valley.

Olly will be joined by dozens of oxen that will roam through Hopewell Valley over the next year as the newly formed Hopewell Valley Arts Council rolls out its first program, "The Stampede."

The oxen will arrive naked, and artists from throughout the region will embellish and decorate them before they go on display throughout the Valley.

This effort is made possible by founding sponsors such as the Morehouses, whose donation of $25,000 funds four oxen for the herd. Morehouse Engineering, formed by Sky Morehouse in 1990, is located at 43 Railroad Place and provides clients with cross discipline design engineering services associated with plant process systems.

Interested sponsors and artists can contact the Arts Council at www.hvartscouncil.org.
