✂️ 𝐑𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 NEXT WEEK – 𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐲𝐧𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤!

The Fort Payne Chamber of Commerce is honored to host a ribbon cutting celebrating the unveiling of a truly one-of-a-kind addition to our community.

For generations, the historic oak tree near Fort Payne City Hall stood as a familiar landmark. When it was determined that the tree had become hollow and unsafe, the City made the thoughtful decision to preserve its legacy rather than simply remove it.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫, 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐔.𝐏. 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡.

This remarkable work of art incorporates elements of Alabama's and DeKalb County's rich history, transforming a beloved tree into a lasting tribute that will continue telling our community's story for years to come.

Join us as we celebrate the unveiling of this beautiful sculpture, meet the talented artist behind the masterpiece, and help welcome Fort Payne's newest landmark.
